JKR has had years, and years, and years to figure out exactly how she 
wanted to word that prophecy.  I choose to believe that she 
specifically did not say that a sacrifice would be required to rid 
the world of evil.  She did not say that the hero of the story was 
going to give his life to kill the bad guy.  She said neither can 
live while the other survives.  So Voldemort stops surviving, Harry's 
gravy.

I don't think DD's going to make it.  If I had to guess, he'll pull 
and Obi-Wan Kenobi kind of thing and sacrifice himself so that Harry 
can get the time he needs to be ready.  I think he's going to bite it 
in this next book.  From Ch. of of PS/SS we know that Voldemort's 
first reign of terror was 11 years.  We know from PoA that 
Voldemort's gonna be, "greater and more terrible than ever before."  
He's only got 2 years left to be greater and more terrible, when the 
first time around he was so terrible that 14 years after he was gone 
people still shudder at his name.  I think Hagrid's sentiment of, 
(paraphrasing) "so long as we've got DD we'll be ok."  I don't think 
he's alone in thinking that.  I think if Voldemort kills him, that'll 
go along way to magnifying his terror.
