I think you have nailed this one too!  

In chapter 22 of Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore uses some 
instrument which creates puffs of smoke that becomes a snake that 
then divides into two snakes.  Dumbledore comments "But in essence 
divided?"

If Harry and Voldy are joined but in essence divided, they cannot 
become whole if the other exists because they are two parts divided 
from the same whole.  The prophesy then sheds light on this 
predicament as you mentioned.  Neither can be a whole while the 
other half exists.  If a wizard was split between his two 
personalities, he would always be less than the whole.  Lily did 
something to Voldy when he tried to kill Harry that somehow joined 
the two of them, but they separated or dissolved into two distinct 
beings.  This sounds alot like the Alchemy stuff you mentioned.  
Combining and dissolving into essence and recombining to make the 
whole.

I think the imagery is lost on most people and they don't find it 
interesting.
