Yes, but (!) there are two important lines in the prophecy, and I'm 
working backwards here:

1. The one with the power to vanquish Voldemort will be born at the 
end of the seventh month ( or something like that, I don't have the 
book).  It says here vanquish, not kill.  

2. Either will die at the hand of the other.  This is the first part 
of the prophecy.

Suppose I take it a bit further and the prophecy does indeed relate 
to both boys, being Harry and Neville.  Harry is the one who has the 
power to vanquish V and does so by dying to save Ginny.
After Voldemort is vanquished (his power totally removed), Neville 
kills him! 

My 2 cts,

Vicky
