Is Voldie alive?

No: HPFGUIDX 139743


As I was starting to re- read HBPs first Chapter "The Other 
Minister"... this caught my eye:

[Fudge just told the Prime Minister, Lord Voldemort is back, and the 
Prime Minister asked if that meant LV was alive]

"Yes, alive," said Fudge. "That is--I don't know--is a man alive if 
he can't be killed? I
don't really understand it, and Dumbledore won't explain properly--
but anyway, he's
certainly got a body and is walking and talking and killing, so I 
suppose, for the purposes
of our discussion, yes, he's alive." -- HBP, Ch. 1

Is this JKR's way, of telling us that LV isn't really alive?... 

I've noticed lots of posts, where there's speculation upon the 
prophecy, saying that "...neither can live, while the other 
survives..."... is Fudge telling us that indeed, unless HP is dead, 
LV cannot be completely alive?... and does this apply to HP as well 
(which for his case, may just mean that he won't be able to LIVE 
a "normal" life until LV is gone)?

Just a few thoughts... 

I'm sorry I didn't quote any of your excelent posts regarding this, 
I'm terrible at remembering who wrote what and when... still I 
admire each and everyone of you for your great insights ; ) God 
knows I've enjoyed (possibly too much, since I've found myself 
reading them at the office)every one I've read... Cheers!
