Just adding to my own previous post here ... After discussing the theory and actual wording of the prophecy with a fellow analytical friend, it seems to us that ...

*takes a breath before she attempts to explain* 

Okay, it seems that by the wording of this, the nor Voldemort or Harry can live a full life(?) while the other survives. Also, that only Harry can kill Voldemort and vice versa. That would gives the impression that firstly, some sort of power or something similar would be 'activated' (couldn't think of a better word to explain) once one of them kills the other and that both Harry and Voldemort would be invulnerable to attacks from anyone else. Any other theories?

Just throwing some ideas into the fire ... Sorry if I'm out of line.
