Come to think of that - Peter's silver hand, made by Voldemort's 
magic - (as reward for the right hand PP gave to restore Voldemort) - 
is, in a way, Voldemort's hand. (Because he created it).

Also, it says "At the hand of the other", not "at the hands of the 
other" as the usual phrase is. I think it's significant that the 
prophecy speaks of a single hand.

--*--

The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the 
seventh month dies (Near the end of July, think both Dumbledore and 
Voldemort) to those who have thrice defied him (Him meaning 
Voldemort, the Dark Lord.) This lead to Neville/Harry- 
interpretation, by just about everyone. Simple enough - Longbottoms 
and Potters *had* defied the Dark Lord thrice - but um... maybe there 
are others, or the phrase means something else...;).

However, it IS possible that 'as the seventh month dies' means 
something else than the last of July. For example, last of September 
(from Latin origin Septum, seventh) the "seventh month" by name to 
this day, and by ancient Roman Calendar. OR the seventh time moon 
goes 'dark' - also, dies - counting from the time the prophecy was 
made. (Hermione's birthday is in September, though early of the 
month, not near the end)

That would put the seventh month between February and April, assuming 
Dumbledore had the interview during summer... (Ron's born in March).

And then there's 'and he shall mark him as his equal'. Supposedly 
when Voldemort gave Harry the scar. (And, this does NOT mean Harry 
and the 'Dark Lord' need BE equal, only that Voldemort, at the time 
at least, believes it so) ... but he shall have a power the Dark Lord 
knows not. (Mother's love, which vanquished Voldemort that night?)
Then again, that, too, might be misinterpretation, and the 'mark' is 
something else!

--*--
(and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live 
while the other survives).

..*..

Now, to interpret this to be between Harry & Voldemort - Harry's 
surviving at Dursleys I would not call living. Nor Voldemort's stay 
in Albania, less than a ghost.

I wonder if this means Pettigrew will kill one of them - (back to it 
being a choice), that Harry will kill Voldemort (or Voldemort him).
