Zara:
There is a sense in which the Prophecy is true of Voldemort as well. This sense of "live" is explicitly mentioned in the text.

I do not have by books (packing for a big move), but, paraphrasing...

In HBP, "The Other Minister", the PM upon being told by Fudge that He Who Must Not Be Named is back, asks something like "You mean he's alive?", and Fudge responds with something like "If someone who cannot be killed can be said to be alive."
