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).
