There cannot be any "other character" intervention. 


I have to agree that there is little to no room for any "other" 
person in the prophecy.  If it was simply stated "Either must die at 
the hand of the other" it would be plausible, but it seems we are 
forgetting the second half of that passage: "for neither can live 
while the other survives".  "The other" can't be anyone but Harry or 
Voldemort because "Either must die at the hand of Pettigrew (or 
Neville) for neither can live while Pettigrew (/Neville) survives" 
doesn't make any sense.  If Pettigrew/Neville can't survive, then why 
also must Harry or Voldemort die by his hand?  It doesn't work.
