Why isn't Harry, son of two of the best students at Hogwarts, one of
whom managed to become an Animagus at age 15, a better wizard?
Academically he seems a fairly ordinary Joe, certainly compared to
Hermione, even if he is extremely brave and brilliant at Quidditch.
I thought of this while trying to hold up the super-Harry theory. I
believe it may, just may, support it. Possibly James and Lily's
abilities have combined to make Harry immensely powerful on an
instinctive/higher level which he hasn't learned how to access yet.
Or I may just be talking complete hogwash (wouldn't be the first
time).
