If the prophecy has been worded carefully, there might be a loophole 
in it somewhere.

"either must die at the HAND of the other"  could this mean anything 
other than one actually killing the other?  Could it mean one touches 
the other, and they die?  I don't think Harry has ever touched 
Voldemort with his hand. What would happen if he did?

"neither can live while the other survives"  Aren't they both alive 
now?  
Also, Harry and Voldemort were both alive before Godric's Hollow.  
The term "survive" must refer to life after a certain event or 
starting time.
