The protection based on the subjects of the prophesy only apply to 
removing it from the shelves.  Neville was the one who carried around 
the department of mysteries - or are you suggesting that Neville is 
really the subject of the prophesy?

I doubt LV would have had any of his "messengers" try to listen to 
the prophesy - he only wanted them to deliver it to him, and it would 
respond to him.
