Hi--

I don't know if this has been discussed recently, because I've only been 
reading sporadically for the last few months.  But someone mentioned in a 
recent post that we might be about to find out that Dumbledore (and the rest 
of the Order) have the prophecy all wrong.  I, too, think that the Prophecy 
is going to turn out to have some meaning other than what everyone in the 
books seems to assume it means (i.e., that Harry must kill Voldemort, or 
vice versa).

  It goes "Neither can live while the other survives," right?  What I wonder 
is if the crux of the Prophecy rests somewhere on a difference between 
"living" and "surviving."  Has anybody else thought about it this way?  And 
if so, what did oyu come up with?

Alex
