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)

Something just popped into my head when I read two of the above
sentences--Is JKR telling us that LV isn't really alive? "Neither can
live while the other survives."--and then put them together again. 
 
In the prophecy wording there are potentially diverse  definitions
for "live" versus "survive"? If LV isn't really *alive,* can he be  one
of the neither in "neither can *live*?" Or is LV the one who only
"survives"? In which case "neither" would refer to two  additional
people, one of whom is certainly Harry, and the other...Snape?
Or someone else entirely? 
 
Whoever the two are, they can't live if LV survives. Or "as long as" 
LV survives, if you define "live" in the sense of being free of the
chains LV has put around them, Harry (as Mil noted) because
of the prophecy and LV's intent to kill him, and Snape because 
of his DE ties to LV that can only be fully broken by the death of 
one of them). 
 
Just thought I'd throw in one more possible interpretation!
