Ok so have to cut out your post again. Who was going to protect Draco from Voldemort if not Dumbledore? I think the question assumes that Draco either: a) needed b) wanted 9) asked for such protection. Draco happily and voluntarily went into such service with open eyes and boasted to. His friends about being chosen. Sure you do not have to tell me that he did not realize the extent he was signing up for. Oh wait, he knew he signed up for murder and he attempted to commit murder several times. The only thing he did not realize is that Voldemort will be threatening his family to speed up his service. When attempts to kill Dumbledore through Katie and Ron did not work, he tried and tried again. Yes he cold not kill Dumbledore face to face but despite all that Dumbledore says he was perfectly fine trying long distance murders. Ron and katie have no idea that there is a murderer running around and their headmaster allows him to do so with open eyes, even after double murder attempts. I of course do not know if Headmaster code of conduct book exists, but if it did I am pretty sure that the rule about protecting his students from murderer would supersede the rule about protecting such murderer or attempted murderer. IMO of course. And  the order members who have no clue that their headmaster ordered Snape to become a traitor again are more able to protect themselves against something they do not know happened than Snape? Snape knows perfectly well what he signed up for, he is supposedly such a great occlumenc that he consistently fools Voldemort himself. Um, sorry I actually think that poor wretch Fletcher was the one who was in most need of protection there. Alas. Dumbledore indeed says nothing about sending Harry there in order for him to love WW more, I just consider it one step inference. JMO,
