The essential part. Well let's imagine a case where someone else tried to kill harry. Firstly i doubt it would have been possible, considering Lily's protection for him which till that point WAS there. Voldemort had the same blood running in him and i think he was the only one who could have killed Harry. Another interesting thing is that in the prophecy it only states that neither can live while the other survives. THis doesn't mean that one has to kill the other, right?? Or am i finding loopholes?
As for the fact the Dumbledore knew he wouldn't die, no I don't think so... Dumbledore had set to gain the Elder's wand and the invisibility cloak, then the stone. But he had left his wand for Severus Snape, and i don't think as far as i know there were any intentions of Harry's gaining it. Harry gaining the 3 had been unintentional even from Harry's POV as he thought he was dead HIMSELF too. It was only later that he realised the wand he possessed was the elder wand, making him immortal. When Dumbledore said that the boy must die, i think he actually meant it.

Yess...He Dumbledore meant Snape to become the owner of The Elder Wand...But that was the flaw in his plan. Bcoz as Snape was not the omce who defeated him, he didnt become the owner of the wand. That part is understood
I too was under the impression that when DD said the boy must die...he meant it..But U cant really say right..as I said he never confided his entire plan to anyone...as he told Snape "I dont want to put all my secrets in one bastket, especially the one which is dangling in Lord Voldemort's hands"😆😉
He had made a guess that as Harry will be "ready" when the right time presents itself, he may escape the fate thrust upon him by Voldemort. A Fate which Dumbledore CANNOT change. But which Harry's DECISION can change
But I am confused abt what u said no one but Voldemort can kill Harry...I thought that ANYONE but Voldemort can kill Harry....😕 as It was Voldemort who tried to kill Harry...as it was he who had taken Harry's blood which is now rnning in his veins, Harry didnt die..If someone else had killed Harry, he would have dies and so wud the soul of Voldy inside hm (Correct me if I am wrong)
as for the Prophecy...If Voldemort hadnt chosen Harry , maybe nothing wud have happened..He wudnt have had a rival..he feared if it may be true that why he decided to make sure there wont be a chance. He didnt wanna take any chances and chose Harry as his enemy. He MADE the Prophecy true...
n Harry didnt gain he resurrection stone by accident..he gained only the elder wand by accident(as contrary to DD's Plan) DD had left the resurrection stone as he knew he wud need it at the end he wud need his lost loved ones for support whle he took the brave brave decision between life and death of the world...which is why DD had written "I open at the close" in the snitch.
omg..i wrote too much....😆
