I actually read a fanfic recently where Snape fatally
stabbed Harry during the final confrontation, and once
Hermione declared Harry gone, they were able to kill
Voldemort. At that point, they used CPR to bring Harry
back to life since he really had been dead for less
than a minute. It was the first time I had heard of
that approach to getting around the Prophecy, but I
thought it did have merit in some form. The only
concern I would have then would be who kills Voldemort
when Harry dies?

Thank you for correcting the division I had posted
wrong. And I was skipping over the obvious- I knew
Voldemort only received the first part, but it didn't
sink in until I heard your arguments.

I can see how that statement could be construed as
ambiguous, but if there were others involved in the
prophecy, wouldn't those names be attached to the
sphere when it rested in the Department of Mysteries?
Or if the names were unknown, wouldn't it say "Unknown
Wizard" or what not?
