"either must die at the hand of the other, Contradiction or Clue?"

vmonte:
Maybe this has nothing to do with Harry at all. Maybe it's been
carefully worded because it's talking about the 2 soul shards only.
The shard living in Voldemort and the shard living in Harry.

It seems that the soul shard in the diary was able to regenerate
itself because it fed off of a living being:Ginny (it fed off of
Ginny's fears).

Harry's soul Shard may also have it's own kind of life, having been
transformed by Lily's love and Harry's goodness.

Harry isn't going to have to kill anyone. The bad guy will try to use
the horcrux in Harry for evil and he will accidentally cause his own
destruction.
