Actually, followers can be killed by enemies, it is just that when downed enemies prefer to focus on the dragon born or another NPC. instead, but if there is enough enemies to have some left over, or the dragon born and his/her allies are far enough away, they'll attempt to finish off the follower. In fact, that is how I lost Tobir.
