I believe, in the end, that Harry will kill Voldemort, but that Harry
will survive. I was thinking about the last part of the prophecy
today and decided to approach it logically. I am horrible at logic,
so maybe someone will blow some holes in it and relieve me!
"And either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live
while the other survives" OP pg.841
I look at it this way:
"Either must die at the hand of the other" == Harry must take an
active role in vanquishing LV, or LV must take an active role in
killing Harry (i.e. at the hand of).
"Neither can live while the other survives" == One *must* survive
this duel, or else neither one will die. The only way one dies is if
the *other* survives. Harry can't live if V survives, but he *can*
live if V dies (vanquished forever). Likewise, V can't live if Harry
survives, but he *can* live (take on a body in full life) if Harry
dies. If both die, neither one has survived, so both will live.
Sounds strange but I think that is true. In what way both will live,
I don't know.
I think Harry will survive and V will die. I look at it this way:
Harry = good, V = evil. Good will triumph over evil.
