Genetically Enhanced Harry?

Hi All! I was just reading a post from Hannah(hermione_ew) and a 
thought struck me. Of course, I haven't seen it posted before- or, 
if I have, accept my apologies very sincerely because I have 
forgotten it and seem to think it's my idea. Anyways, this is the 
passage I read, which i will quote just so you all can see how a 
weird, polluted New York mind like mine thinks:

-----------Hannah Said:-------------
>Going back to the Magic Eyes theory from a while ago, Harry must be 
>a wizard with some sort of elevated powers, significant enough that 
>he was a real threat to Voldemort.  Voldemort wanted to eliminate 
>Harry while he was a baby, and posed no apparent threat.  Voldy 
>must have known that once with Dumbledore, Harry would be able to 
>practice, and pose an even more significant threat to the dark side.

Being an avid Star Trek fan, (though not as much as I am a fan of 
HP, since reading the novels and seeing the movie) a thought struck 
me from an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and an episode 
of Star Trek Voyager. 
    In the episode of ST:TNG I am referring to(sorry, I am not 
positive of the exact name of the episode, but I firmly believe it 
is "I,Borg"), the Enterprise discovers a crash site and they also 
find an injured borg.(I am sorry for those of you who don't watch 
ST, but explaining the borg would take a little too long, at least 
for this post. Suffice it to say here that they are a race of 
mechanically-enhanced beings that all think as one, like a big 
robot, who try to assimilate everything they come into contact with. 
They are bad news in any sense.) Doctor Crusher demands to take the 
injured borg aboard the ship, which the captain regretably 
does.However, he then orders a "virus" implanted into the borg, 
which they would send back to the collective(another name for the 
Borg race) and hopefully "infect" the Borg and kill them off. I risk 
going no further, lest I ruin the plot for any ST fans who haven't 
seen the episode.
     The Star Trek Voyager episode is very similar to this,in that 
they encounter the Borg as well, however, this time they also 
encounter a race of people who are weak but have invented an 
ingenious method to fight the borg. A little more explaination for 
the Non-Trekkies(sorry to those who know this, so please forgive the 
little diversion)- the way the Borg reproduce, if you could call it 
that, is by literally "assimilating" other races. That is, they 
forcibly turn beings, be they Human or any other, and make them Borg 
by implanting cybernetic devices. So what this race did was 
genetically encode a virus into a child, and then when he came of 
age tried to send him off to be assmilated and hopefully destroy the 
race. 
     Thank you to all of you who have stuck with me this far, for 
now I am finally reaching my point! So, as Hannah said, what if 
Harry were a wizard with "elevated" powers, but not by accident? 
There was a theory a bit back that Harry was Godric's heir- what if, 
instead of being Godric's heir, Harry was made from inception or 
somehow infused with more magic from birth to be able to fight 
Voldemort? The other possibility being that there was some sort 
of "prophecy" untold as of yet of the birth of a "special" boy, 
which Voldemort is trying to kill to prevent his own downfall. This 
could explain why there is such a big hint on Harry's eyes. Also, 
this would fit very well with JKR's style of writing, that is, 
emulating classical tales into her stories.For references of similar 
classical tales, see the Bible, the story of Oedipus, and for those 
80's movie freaks like myself, Willow.
     I realize this is probably similar to what Hannah must have 
originally thought, I am just trying to expand the idea a bit from 
what she said. As always, thoughts and criticisms are welcome and 
encouraged!
