Does the prophecy suggest that both have to die (was: Harry will die)

There has been so much speculation that the prophecy suggests that 
both Harry and LV must die at the end, that I went back and re-read 
it for the zillionth time.  Unfortunately I don't have it in front of 
me now, but I recall it saying something like: "Either must die at 
the hand of the other, for neither can live whilst the other is 
alive". To my reading, this means EITHER Harry will die at the hand 
of Voldemort (or would that really be at the hand of PP, whose hand 
Voldemort has?  Is LV's wand hand his left or his right?  But I 
digress.) OR LV will die at the hand of Harry.  The use of "either" 
means that the two are mututally exclusive.

The second part of the phrase follows on from that.  As neither Harry 
can survive whilst LV is alive, nor can LV survive while Harry is 
alive: the death of one of them will mean that the remaining one 
survives.  It doesn't require both to die.  Carefully worded, of 
course, but still fairly clear to me.

Or am I missing something?
