The prophesy was also about Voldemort, so remember Dumbledore's huge explanation in the end of the 5th book? The Prophesy could not be touched by anyone but Harry or Voldemort, but Voldemort did not yet want to reveal himself to the Wizarding World so he trapped Harry and sent his Death Eaters to get the Prophesy from Harry (he did not know it could not be touched by others), planning to finish off Harry and then reveal himself to the Wizarding World after everyone found out that their saviour was gone.
