you're forgetting his friends. Everything Harry has done in fighting 
evil, he has done with the help of his friends. That's one of the 
more prominent messages of the books; to rely on friends. I suspect 
it will be the combined talents of Harry, Hermione and Ron (plus any 
random others) who will ultimately defeat Voldemort, as it has always 
been in the books so far.
