 Well, I think it's possible that it's someone or something that we haven't
met yet, or have seen briefly but haven't fully understood the significance
of, since, for the phrase to stop bothering me, The Other has to not be
alive yet...either he/she/it isn't born yet, or maybe hasn't been created
yet, or is in an non-alive state like Voldy prior to GoF.

I find myself thinking of that scene in OotP, after Harry has had the vision
of Arthur being attacked by Nagini, where Dumbledore consults one of his
instruments which emits a green smoky snake.  Dumbledore says, "Naturally,
naturally...but in essence divided?".  This has always puzzled me.  Maybe
Harry, or Voldemort, has a divided essence, and The Other will come to be
the embodiment of that essence...or something like that?  I admit I've not
got a good answer to "Who is The Other?"...but I know how JKR loves to throw
out red herrings and phrase things so that just when you are sure you have
figured it out and you know what is going to happen, you find out you were
completely wrong...
