I'm an idiot. I'm not sure why I didn't see this before, except that it was 2 am when I first read the chapter.
I've read the other posts below, but I think we are missing something specific here.
Spoken in the presence of them. Not by them.
It was spoken to them by a Seer, before they made the Deathly Hallows. Possibly also before they had children.
It's a prophecy and they had two things to do to ensure its completion, create the Hallows, and sire whatever offspring eventually leads to the birth of one Harry James Potter Evans Verres.
Harry's final success over Death will include the Hallows. "...by which Death shall be defeated."
... damn, nobody else got that? Eliezer might want to change the wording, then.
I definitely saw that as a strong possibility. And it seemed pretty clear to me too.
Wild speculation: I wondered before if all prophecies stem from Harry "End of the World" Potter and Its magic, reaching back in time. This is technically evidence for that theory.
