Let's pick at that prophecy a litle more, shall we?

I appreciated elle's important reminder (ellegir, post 77655, 8.17.03, 10:47 
am) that LV does not know the part about the "Dark Lord will mark him as his 
equal."  As I read OoP LV still does not know that part of the prophecy.  At this 
point I think only Dumbledore and Harry know this part (and Sibyll Trelawney, 
if she remembers).

I'd like to shift focus a bit to the part of the prophecy that says, ". . . for neither 
can live while the other survives."   Forgive me for stating the obvious, but 
since GOF, both Harry and LV seem to be living while the other survives.  The 
fact that they are both living and functioning, and in Harry's case, growing 
seems to fly in the face of this part of the prophecy. 

Like many of us, I found other parts of the prophecy confusing, but I can't 
make sense of this fragment, no matter how hard I try.
