Luckdragon trying to put it all together:
"The one with the power (Love, compassion, empathy) to vanquish the dark 
lord approaches...(Harry) born to those (James & Lily) who have thrice 
defied him (LV), born as the seventh month dies (July 31)...and the 
dark lord will mark him as his equal (curse scar), but he will have 
the power (love, compassion, empathy) the dark lord knows not...and 
either (Harry or LV) must die at the hand of the other (Peter) for 
neither (Harry or LV) can live while the other (Harry or LV) survives...

Neither Harry nor Voldemort can live the life they want as long as 
both of them live so Peter must kill one of them and the other one 
will live happily ever after and since Voldemort's downfall is the 
power in Harry and Peter owes Harry a lifedebt based on this power 
it is Voldemort who will die at Peter's hand.
