I was just wondering when I was reading this ...

Death is something that occurs to everyone who is born (I mean 
biologically, and so, please do not spin off on the born once 
and born again thought process ..). It is the rule of nature that 
death come to the physical body. 

Now there are actually two things coming to my mind -- 

(i) in marking HP as his equal --- the prophecy itself did not 
say that LV would be vanquished the moment HP is marked as his 
equal -- right? But still LV lost his body. So, the big question 
is, in taking measures against death, hasn't the prophecy already 
been fulfilled and LV thwarted the prophecy with his horcruxes?

(ii) this is more of a religious belief question -- I have always 
been told, and have read in numerous books that discuss death, 
that the soul would depart as a whole when death comes. Every 
person born in this mortal world HAS to die someday. So, whether 
you keep your soul in pieces or as a whole, death is an 
inevitability. isn't it so? I am not an expert in this matter of 
course, for I haven't died yet .... and I don't really expect 
answers to this query ... but still, just wondering. 

Also, if the 7th part in LV body dies due to natural causes .... 
how on earth does he think he has conquered death? He would still 
need someone's help to resurrect him ... and nobody knows where 
his horcruxes are! A big HA HA to the very idea of defeating death..... 

Scam -- shell-shocked by her own brilliance ... and sooo happy 
that if HP can't kill LV, then age will :))))
