Still, I could make an argument (you'll learn, DolphinChicaDDD, that a good lawyer can argue anything  ) that there could be a subtle difference between "and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives" and "does that mean that one of us has got to kill the other one?".
Oh well, we'll see one day.

I was going to say that too -- just because one has to die at the hands of the other doesn't mean that one necessarily has to kill the other. Harry could accidentally knock a rock onto Voldemort, which would hit his head hard enough to kill him, and that would fulfill the prophecy even though it wouldn't exactly be murder. Not that I think that's what's going to happen.
