Neither can live while the other survives. A different look at the prophecy

I've been to quite a few HP sites since finishing the OOP, I've been 
trying to see what other peoples ideas are for what the prophecy 
means and everywhere I've gone, its contravercy.

I've spoke with a couple of friends about it and they seem to think 
that this idea might be what it means.

Now, as we all know, a little over a year after Harry was born, 
Voldemort met his downfall at him, didn't he, well, as soon as harry 
turned 11, he found out about his story and learned of Voldemort, can 
you really say that since his first encounter with the Dark Lord, 
he's been exceptionally happy? I can't, yeh he can get happy, but he 
has the weight of his belief that he must try and stop Voldemort. For 
three years he fought and stopped him (well he let pettigrew escape 
but beat back the dementors, 100 of them) then he came back, after 
that, Harry has been in constant worry.

But to look at it from Voldemorts side. Ever since Harry was born, 
he's had bad luck, his body destroyed, not getting the Philosiphers 
Stone, stopping Riddle from returning. escaping and telling 
Dumbledore that he was back and finally, destroying the prophecy in 
the department of mysteries.

My view on it is, Harry and Voldemort will not be 'happy' or content 
or live as they want to as long as the other survives.

What do you think?
