The prophecy was no the one thing that killed the Witch King. It was not some sort of spell that bound the W.K. to die at the hands of something not men (elf, orc, troll, wolf, horse, etc).

Glorfindel, as an elf lord, had the gift of foresight. He saw the picture were Eowyn and Merry kill him...

If Aragorn had killed him instead, or any other guy, Glorfindel would have foretold it as if "the King recrowned will give him his bitter death" or something...

Eitherway... I grief for my fallen Lord...
