I thought perhaps Dumbledore kept her around to protect her.  I agree, he is a kind person, but he
clearly regards her as an almost complete fraud, other than the 2 predictions she's come up with
so far.  I speculate that he was worried that a DE or LV might torture her to try to get her to
reveal what the prophecy was.
