opinion is that DD has her there for her own protection. <


Rebecca Trishel now:

I always got the impression that Dumbledore wants Trelawney to stick 
around in case she makes another prediction (like she did in PoA). As 
for her protection, I don't know that LV knows who made the prophecy. 
I guess the "spy" at Hogshead might recognize her. Otherwise, 
Trelawney is pretty safe, especially given her reputation as a failed 
fortune-teller.
