It's a common resolution to stories of this kind...think Frodo Baggins 
or Taran of Lloyd Alexander's Prydain series, or Bran  in Susan 
Cooper's The Dark is Rising. They all lose, or choose to give up their 
supernatural  powers.

	How do we know those powers *aren't* Voldie related. Wouldn't it 
be neat if the power to resist Voldemort's curse came from Voldie 
himself?
	At several times in the narrative, a little voice, sometimes it's 
called a "nasty little voice,' speaks to Harry from the back of his 
mind. I keep wondering about that voice. Is it Harry's subconscious or 
could it be the voice of the part of Voldemort that got transferred to 
Harry, and are they by now inextricably entwined?
