It seems to me the natural way for DD to plead for his life is to say: 
"Severus ....please don't." Why doesn't he say that? - because that is 
exactly the opposite of what he means and might lead to SS's misunderstanding him. 
What he is saying is "Severus . . . Please [do what we discussed or what 
is necessary or what you know I want}. Otherwise, his statement is 
unnatural and makes no sense. He could not state exactly what he wanted in front of 
Harry and the DEs. 

BTW do we know we have the full prophecy? The last sentence is cut off 
(I believe it says The Dark Lord will be killed by one who is born at the 
end of July . . . ) and then just tails off. 

Luckdragon:
  I believe that DD was asking Snape to keep his cover even at the possible expense of DD's life.
   
  As for the prophecy, I really don't think the entire prophecy was revealed. It seems incomplete in a couple of places, and that could be for a variety of reasons. Perhaps because DD & SPT were interupted,  perhaps SPT  was having difficulty channeling the prophet for some reason. There is no canon for this as it is to be revealed in book 7.
