My impression from hearing the quote from JKR in conjunction with OotP
is that Harry will die destroying Voldemort.  First clue for me is
Dumbledore's statements about death in the duel with Voldemort,
Voldemort's mere death not being enough to satisfy Dumbledore, death
not being the worst possible thing, other ways to destroy someone
without killing them, etc.  Second is the prophesy itself - neither
can live while either exists - which has some interesting nuances to
me.  My first impression is that while either one of them exists,
neither of them can live -- therefore both musst die.  I don't know if
this makes sense to me yet, but Harry's and Voldemort's connection is
very strong.
