OK, I've got a translated edition of GoF, so my copy is as valid as 
yours in principle (hey, at least in my translated versions all titles 
are correct ;-p ). In my version there is no future death. Peter says 
that "And, if we continue, if I throw the curse". Voldemort, in the 
same line, first speaks of "One less obstacle", which I admit could 
mean almost *anything*, but then specifies "One more curse" (all quotes 
are Sp. Ed. GoF ch. 1, Liberal translation).

Since I don't think Naama has them in my language, that's two against 
one by now, although I'll be the first to admit that the only one that 
really counts is the original, British text. Any brits out there that 
care give us the original text?

Hope that helps,
