Harry's Power is Self-sacrifice

I have read the arguments here for love, hope, etc. but the one power that I
believe is being referred to is self-sacrifice. His mom gave up her life for
Harry, and Harry has time and again been willing to sacrifice himself if it
means saving others.

GOF - the underwater rescue of  hostages not his own in the Second Task of
GOF (gof 499 - "Your task is to retrieve your own friend .... leave the
others...") and he stays to help Fleur's little sister even after Krum and
Cedric leave.

OOP - his attempted rescue of Sirius at all costs ( though he didnt fully
appreciate the danger to his friends)

SS - the rescue of Hermione from the giant troll

It is also in Ron (SS the knight sacrifice in the chess game)

I dont think that these are to be confused with courage -- self sacrifice is
much more intense - and final.
And clearly LV has none of this quality. He strives for life more than
anything - even resorting to killing unicorns and occupying the bodies of
others. Harry has none of this survival urge.

 These are just examples that quickly come to mind - there are probably many
more ..

As to why Self-Sacrifice would merit its own room and study area at the
oM  -  i would think that many wizards would have trouble confronting their
own feelings about self sacrifice and what event or person would prompt them
to give up their own lives for someone else... not like playing with
boggarts to imitate dementors.
