But that doesn't make sense grammatically (syntactically?). If the
first line refers to one person and the last line refers to another -
then the middle part can't refer to both of them:
The "either", "other" and "neither" can't refer to the second one -
since he hasn't been presented yet.

Jaanis:

While I agree that most probably the one /born/ and the one /will be
born/ is the same person and repeating is just a feature for confusing
predictions, I think that "either"/"neither" and "other" may be three
persons rather than only two:

~Quote from OotP, Ch37~
... and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live
while the other survives...

If I stop here, then it should be quite dispassionate and logical. The
"other" *may be* as well *may not be* one of those two.
