That's something I hadn't thought of before. When I first heard the prophecy I immediately assumed it just meant Harry didn't need to come up with a way to deal with the Pioneer, and I didn't reevaluate upon Harry's reconciliation with his dark side.
Also, I've been wondering what that means in reverse- what's stopping Voldemort from destroying all of Harry, what would his remnant be? Interesting thought- maybe Harry's dark side counts as a remnant of Harry, too.
But how could Harry's dark side endure with Harry gone?
I am tempted to suggest Harry's legacy (the Patronus 2.0, application of rationality to magic etc.) as a remnant of Harry that Voldemort couldn't destroy. Although Voldemort has his own legacy (the Death Eaters, the impact of the war), and it would be strange to talk of anyone "destroying" that.
Perhaps the prophecy is saying that the only way for Voldemort to destroy Harry is to use Harry's style or powers against him? Voldemort with a Patronus 2.0 would likely count as a "remnant".
