Don't see why.  There is supposedly a vast multiverse.  If -Harry was affected then it means it would have been infinitely diluted among the other Harry's making it meaningless.

He lived a long time because of the coin, once he gave up his coin to Michael he reverted to his real age.

I know this isn't how the curse was meant, but what if it could work as something of a blessing as well?  After all, if Harry has to "die alone" then the curse may actually work to protect him when he is surrounded by friends in a deadly situation right?  Because if he died there he wouldn't "die alone."  I wonder if that could be the "other half."

raidem:
It is a good point.  I like it.  I like it lots.  Using a death curse in your favor.  Maybe that is what Cowl tries to do in dealing with the death curses used against him.

Interesting. I like fun prophecy interpretations, and death curses might be considered self-propelled-and-fulfilling prophecies, after a fashion.
