If she *has* a memory.  I'm not sure she does.  
Trelawney doesn't have any conscious memory of either 
of the true prophecies she has made.  Perhaps she is 
only a conduit.  Her case is different, therefore, 
from that of Bertha Jorkins.

That doesn't mean that Voldemort would not torture 
and kill her before finding out that she has no memory 
of the prophecy.  Dumbledore would certainly want to 
protect Trelawney for her own sake, because he is humane.  
That is a different thing, though, from keeping her out 
of Voldemort's hands for tactical reasons and making 
it a top priority.
