final outcome of the Harry-Voldemort conflict will not depend on 
who's the more powerful wizard.  I agree with this, and I also think 
that the outcome will not depend on which shadowy puppet-master does 
a better job of manipulating his pawns.

I could not have said this better myself.  IMO, we must never lose 
our focus as readers-we should not lose sight of those themes 
mentioned above:  free choice, morality, and the power of love.  
Another theme mentioned by JKR herself can be tied in with these: 
that is equality-freedom from predjudice that purposely blinds itself 
to the merits of others based on their heritage.  IMO, free choice is 
the center of it all- you choose what road to take, you choose who to 
love.  Its all up to you.  I too believe that in the end, Love will 
conquer Voldemort-not power.
