Dumbledore may have kept her at Hogwarts for her own protection.  It 
was always obvious that someone overheard the prophecy, we now know 
this to have been Snape, and he will no doubt have thought that she was 
far safer at Hogwarts than being left to the mercy of LV who would be 
aware that he could possibly 'extract' the memory from her mind 
directly without her haveing to consciously remember it.
