Not bad... hmmm... I'd like to play with this some more.
I looked up the rest of the prophecy again to see if your new angle
can apply to any of the rest of it.  See what you think:

"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches....Born
to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies...."
This can mean pretty much what it looks like -- foreseeing Harry's
birth in July -- but the vanquishment in this phrase could mean the
one in Godric's Hollow.  Which leads to:

"And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power
the Dark Lord knows not..."
That can mean LV marked Harry as his equal at Godric's Hollow, but
Harry has power -- *Voldemort's powers* transferred that night -- and
LV doesn't know about it.

Next there's the phrase Entropy did, where either good- or
bad-Harry-spirit will have to prevail, and then:

"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the
seventh month dies...."
*This* could mean, that the battle between good-Harry-spirit and
bad-Harry-spirit might *also* happen at the end of July, and whichever
one wins will have the power to vanquish LV (for good or ill).  So the
phrase could have been repeated because it referred to two different
vanquishments?

Annemehr:
Oops! I think I messed that up for you when I had the
winner-Harry-spirit vanquish LV again...

And I always thought your signature was a little too orderly. 
Shouldn't it be something more like:

who agrees with Entropy that "Harry" and "murder" don't belong
together, either way
