I think that we must look at the whole prophecy. "He will mark him  
as his equal".  Equal to what? What does LV have that could possibly 
be of help to Harry?  Equal in power? We know that Harry has a power 
that LV does not know so that can't be it.  As to who dies and who 
lives.. I am not any more sure of that than anyone else, except that 
I think Harry will die, and something ?? happens to LV.  It is 
possible that JKR is talking about the ying/yang of good vs. evil.  
That neither one can fully be 100% in power as long as the other is 
still around. If we say that Harry is love and Voldemort is evil, 
then neither one will have full power until the other is gone. They 
both have to be present in order to prevent the other from coming 
into full power. I am not sure where I am going with this. Will have 
to ponder some more.
