I think you are saying that, in the end, it is one of Voldemort's own 
Horcruxes that will be his undoing. From my POV, I have long wondered 
if the correct interpretation of the line above i.e. 'neither can 
live while the other survives' was that either BOTH are alive or BOTH 
are dead. I had always thought of this as reference to Harry & 
Voldemort, but it would certainly make more sense with your argument!

However, I still feel that JKR makes far too much reference to the 
power that Harry possesses and Voldemort fails to understand! 
Therefore it still seems most likely that this will be Voldemort's 
undoing, rather that anything of his own making.
