Could Harry be a squib? ... So what would this have to do with the

Picture this...

James and Lily Potter, Head Boy and Girl of Hogwarts and extremely 
powerful duo have a baby. It turns out that the boy is a Squib, or at 
least not nearly as powerful as the child should be, considering his 
parents. It is a great dissapointment, not to mention that if Death 
Eaters knew about it that the child would have no hope in the future, 
so no one is told that the child is a possible Squib, except for 
mentor and great friend, Albus Dumbledore.

At 15 months of age, the baby's home is attacked by all powerful 
Voldemort. To defend her completely defenceless, Squib child, Lily 
Potter gives up her life, giving her child the ultimate protection. 
Voldemort then turns on the child (who he doesn't know is a Squib) 
and instead of killing the baby, the baby absorbs some of Voldemorts 
power and reflects some onto a weaker Voldemort that comes as close 
to death as is possible for him.

So baby Harry has magical powers and only Dumbledore knows that he 
was born a Squib, which he covers up.

We now have ultimate good Harry, who has non-magical blood but also 
has powers of not just Dark origin, but from Voldemort hinself (which 
in itself is interesting).

In Harry's fourth year, Harry's blood is used to bring back 
Voldemort. But in the blood still is Squibness. Voldemort obviously 
still has powers, but maybe the Squib blood weakens them sufficiently 
so that he isn't as majorly a threat? Maybe with Squib blood he'll be 
defeated more easily or unable to do as much?

I'm not sure if that totally makes sense... but hey, it's a boring 
afternoon and I've got time to think through theories like this :)
