Why Didn't DD or Snape kill Voldemort?

We know that DD didn't try to kill Voldemort at the MOM in the OOP.
When Voldemort taunts him about that, DD cryptically responds that
there are worse things than death. While I'm sure DD heartily believes
that is true, I don't believe that is the real reason he didn't kill LV.
We also know that Snape has come face to face with LV since LV's return
to corporeal form. So, if Snape is really DD's man, why didn't he kill
LV then? Sure, the DEs probably would have finished Snape off at that
point, but if Snape truly is a member of the Order, wouldn't he be
prepared to make that sacrifice? (Of course, I am assuming that LV
allows his DEs to be "armed" with their wands in his presence, in case
he needs them to defend him.)
The only reason I can come up with is that DD fears that Harry will die
if anyone but Harry kills LV. Perhaps DD believes this because of the
prophesy or the connection forged between Harry and LV by the scar, or
both?
Any other ideas?
