in that phrase, or at some other point, "die" is clear enough - 
someone's life has to cease completely (i.e. must not survive) for 
the prophecy to be fullfilled. Die does not allow in any way I can 
think off to simply loose magical powers. Indeed, Voldemort would 
*want* to die if that happened to him, and Harry would regret such 
thing but wouldn't consider it dying either.


Now me:

There's always the 'little death' I suppose, though that is probably 
best left to the slashers.

The prophecy just confuses me.
