neither can live while the other survives
... if Voldemort dies, Harry must die too?

I think it's one or the other or both have to die. The town just ain't big enough for the both of'em.

The first choice, obviously, would be for Harry to kill Voldemort. The prophecy was the hope of this happening.

The second choice is that they both die. This is one that Dumbledore would rather not think about which is probably why he didn't mention it to Harry so as not to overwhelm him. He probably feels that the crap Harry has to go through, knowing that he has to murder someone is enough without the added stress of knowing that he might very well end up being sacrificed to save the greater cause of getting rid of the Supreme Evil.

The worst case scenario would be that Voldemort kills Harry and continues living.

Hmmm let me guess what happens in Book 7. Harry kills Voldemort! Do I get a prize now?

Well...

Major series spoilers here, so highlight to view:

==============================

He at least loses his scar and at least lives long enough to know that Voldemort is completely destroyed.

what i got from the prophecy is that if one dies the other will, as well. they cannot survive without the other.

so harry understood that either he'd be a killer or a victim, which neither was a good option.

i think that's why dumbledore had a tear rolling down his cheek becuz he knew that harry's future wouldn't be a long one.

if one dies the other will

If that's true, then they will BOTH die. ie. Harry will either be a killer, then a victim, or only a victim...

you know...it's quite possible in the last book that harry will die becuz voldemort has to be taken care of.

but i'm wondering if the author will make it to where something happens to harry as in his scar disappearing and him not being affected in the end when voldemort dies.
