But my take out on the foreshadowed story line relates to the early
scene with the Aunt Marge - and Harry's uncontrollable righteous
anger.
It seems to me that this scene sees him breaking glasses, lights
flickering on and off, blowing up his aunt from an apparent discharge
of magic , Are the swings and play equipment swinging wildly around
without reason or an aftermath of a large magical discharge from
Harry ? is it wandless magic ? is it a magical response to
injustice ? well really who knows but JKR, but
When Harry has righteous anger - he can do amazing things
He may not be able to cast an unforgiveable with his righteous anger
as per Bellatrix Lestrange's observation in OOPT , but in this movie
and in canon he can cast a patronus that drives away 50 + dementors
and he can blow up a frightful aunt. ( Once he made a window
disappear at London Zoo)

Along these same lines, there's another scene that shows Harry's power, and - I think - shows Harry's potential strength. In the Shrieking Shack, we see the Expelliarmus spell used several times, but only Harry sends a person flying across the room using that simple spell. We do, of course, have to temper this with Snape throwing Lockhart across the room with Expelliarmus in Chamber of Secrets, but that may have simply been something that was overlooked and not thought to be important at the time. We also have to keep in mind that in the book, it took three people saying the same spell at the same time toward the same person to knock Snape across the room, but I think in the movie it was definitely meant to show Harry's "untrained" power.
You said something also about the "power that LV knows not." My take on that is that the power in question is Love, and Harry's capacity to feel love - or at least caring - for another. That's what's going to be LV's downfall - compassion.
