Drax: DD was LV's nemesis so they wouldn't have just captured him
to get the prophecy. LV would have wasted no time in killing DD
then proceeding to Trelawney and extract it from her. In the case
of Snape and James not even a life debt would be sufficient to
dissuade him from Voldemort's service; it would take something
personal to do that. We know Trelawney is kept safe in Hogwarts
because Snape undoubtedly told LV who made the prophecy when he
originally reported it. As for snape being protected in Hogwarts
you have to remember that his job for the Order is to be a spy
among the DE's. He certainly wouldn't even be close to being
welcomed if he had done something like that.
