Of course the prophecy is somewhat ambiguous, Rowling is going to
write 7 books, she's not about to tell you in book 5 how the entire
series is going to end.

And if Harry stops surviving Voldemort is gravy, and if neither
survives the prophecy is also fulfilled, the only thing we know for
sure is that both can't survive.

I agree, but I don't think Dumbledore will die until the end of the
book, in the meantime he will teach defense against the dark arts
himself. I also think Percy will be deeply involved in the plot to
kill Dumbledore. In the end I don't think Harry is going to make it
either.
