Rereading GoF, it becomes all sorts of apparent during the duel that 
Voldemort is a much better wizard than Harry is.  By which I mean 
he's what, 60, 70 years old?  He had about 40 years to study magic 
before he disappeared, Harry by the end of book 7 will have had 7 
years.  Everytime he's escaped from Voldemort thus far I'd chock it 
up to dumb luck: his mother's protection, using the Basilisk fang on 
the diary, using the summoning charm to run away.  

The only thing that implies to me that Harry may be able to defeat 
Voldemort through talent is b/c he was able to force the beam into 
Voldemort's wand, something Voldemort, even though he likely had no 
idea what was going on, realized he didn't want that beam enter his 
wand & Harry did it anyways.

So the title remains.  What do you guys think?  Harry Beats 
Voldemort: Actual Magical talent or Sheer Dumb Luck?
