Beatrice:  I think that you misread here.  Snape overheard the prophesy, but was removed from the building BEFORE he heard the whole thing. Snape then reported to LV on the prophesy and THEN to his horror LV decided that the prophesy referred to the Potters not to the Longbottoms.  After this, Snape went to DD to warn DD about LV's intention to the Potters or more specifically to Lily.  Then Snape agrees to spy on LV in return for DD protection for Lily oh yeah and her husband and son.
