We should also add being a parselmouth. Dumbledore says of this, when 
Harry questions his gift/curse, that Harry has the gift BECAUSE 
Voldemort has it. What other strengths of Harry's are connected to V. 
and will they disappear when V. is defeated? Will the defeat of V. 
render Harry a muggle (the penultimate sacrifice)?
