Okay, somebody posted that they were disappointed that the only 
reason that Harry survived and defeated Voldemort were because of 
Lily's sacrificial death. See, that's what I thought for awhile too. 
But then I started thinking about it more in depth--and I concluded 
that something other than her sacrifice defeated Voldemort. Because 
Voldemort killed so many people, don't you think that somewhere along 
the line, some mother must have tried to protect their child and died 
in the process? But no other child got a lightning shaped scar of 
their forehead and defeated him, right? So I'm thinking Harry must 
have something VERY special about him. Yes, her sacrifice is what 
saved him and repelled Voldemort. But what defeated him? I don't 
think we know that yet. At the end of SS, Dumbledore clearly states 
that her love and sacrifice were protection against Voldemort, who is 
evil personified and therefore her sacrificial love PROTECTED Harry. 
But what defeated Voldemort? Clearly, there is something to Harry 
that he and the readers haven't fully realized yet. I could be wrong 
about this--but hey, just stating my opinion. Tell me what ya'll 
think.
