the prophecy

Book 5: HP & the Order of the Phoenix Forum

Do you understand wat exactly is this line suposed to mean in that prophecy
"Neither can live while the other surives'"

Hmm... interesting. Perhaps it means they both live empty, meaningless lives... maybe it means they're both dead

It means that as long as Harry is alive, Voldemort cannot return as himself. The whole kill or be killed thingy.

Exactly Heather. It is thier destiny to kill or be killed. The shared power of the curse that failed is bound into this also. Harry can not be completely free of the "bond" with Voldie poo unless Voldemort dies.

If Harry manages to kill Voldemort (and I'm sure he will) do you think he will lose some of his powers, such as parseltongue?

hmmm i dont know, its a good point, but the books say that the powers were transfered to him, i dont really think that they could be untransfered, it would just be odd.

Also I think that line has more to do with it than just a foretelling that one will die, I mean look at harrys life, can we really call that living? He's been stuck up in a house and ignored and hated his whole life, then when he goes to hogwarts instead of just being a normal kid he has to deal with all sorts of stressful stuff. And voldemort, well he spent most of his life living in small rats and stuff in a forest, not until recently did he even have a body, and his life has been cursed and terrible as well. I think that its not only a foretelling of the future but a statement about what is going on now and has been going on for the past oh what 15 nearly 16 years?

or could harry scar someone?

hmm, we just don't know. I doubt that Harry would use an evil curse, but you just never know.
