>From Harry's prophecy: 
"and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live 
while the other survives"

Then I read jk's site's faq:

>The prophecy Harry hears in Dumbledore's office suggests to me that 
both he and Voldemort will have to die, is that true?
>Both Madam Trelawney and I worded the prophecy extremely carefully 
and that is all I have to say on the subject!

So here's my idea (I havent seen it here yet):

The key phrase here is "hand".  Either must die at the "hand" of the 
other.  Who do we know that has a "hand" of Voldemort?  Wormtail!  
Thus Wormtail is the key figure here.  Voldemort or Harry can only be 
killed by the silver "hand" of Wormtail.

Although, a possible optional reading is that Harry can only be 
killed by Voldemort's hand and Voldemort can only be killed by 
Harry's hand.  This of course leads to the possiblity that Harry will 
lose his hand (ala Luke Skywalker).  The one who gets Harry's hand 
will be able to kill Voldemort.
