The Prophecy

Well I was reading the prophecy again for the hundredth time and 
thought I might have finally got it.  I do not know if this was 
discussed but I thought that I will give the opinion and see what 
all of you think about it.

I will take it piece by piece. Here is the prophecy in full....

"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 . . . and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will 
have power the Dark Lord knows not . . . and either must die at the 
hand of the other for neither can live while the other 
survives . . . the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will 
be born as the seventh month dies . . ." (Order of the Phoenix, page 
841.)


Ok everyone knows that  "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 . . ." is Harry. That is nothing new. 

But the next part is the most important, "and the Dark Lord will 
mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows 
not . . . and either must die at the hand of the other for neither 
can live while the other survives . . ."  I think that the statement 
means that the one marked as an equal will have to die by the hand 
of the other in order for LV to be fully mortal (hence "... for 
neither can live while the other survives...) 

This would explain why a couple times in JK wrote Harry saying "if 
he had to die he would make sure that he went down with LV if he 
could manage it."  It also explains why Dumbledore told Harry to 
tell Ron and Hermione about what was going on.  DD knew that Ron and 
Hermione would not let Harry do this mission by himself but most 
importantly he knew that if they were to figure out what had to be 
done and harry sacrifed himself and be killed by LV (making LV fully 
mortal) then the remaining two could continue and AK Voldemort since 
Harry will not be able to.

And there is something else that has bothered me when reading GOF.  
Why did DD have a look of triumph when Harry told him about LV 
taking his blood for the potion in GOF.  What if this act forged 
some kind of connection between the LV and Harry and DD realized 
that.  What if LV actions would eventually cause his doom.  LV 
already has a connection with Harry (the scar) but LV learned he 
could not use it in MoM when he tried to possess Harry.  But using 
harry blood he was able to touch Harry does that mean that Harry has 
returned the favor.  has harry unknowingly forged some kind magic on 
LV. Maybe even some kind of ancient magic LV dispises so much. (LV 
overlooked ancient magic when he killed Lily he could do it again 
can't he?)  

I guess all we can do is speculate...
