A lot of the fics I've read have interpreted 'mark him as his equal'
as 'at the end, will *meet* as equals in magical strength'. (This
seems to be where you're going too? And this is possibly where JKR is
going.)
Another interpretation is that Voldemort and Harry were equals in some
way on that night, and that can (and probably has) change at anytime
afterwards at any scale. The prophecy *doesn't* say they *meet* as
equals, and if they were to, by equal, it could not be in every way
because of Harry's Power, friends, etc... The most obvious aspect they
could be equal in is magical strength, but it could be anything else.
And if one looks at the prophecy another way, they need never be
equals at all.
You can twist the prophecy in a dozen different ways. Heck, you can
even make a case that HBP threw the whole prophecy out the window. Its
all a matter of personal interpertation.
Personally in canon I think the horcrux concept ruined the prophecy.
Not there is no "power he knows not". Find horcruxes, destroy them.
Nice power there Harry. :)
