Spider Poison:
I don't know if anyone besides me noticed this, but the blood that was 
surging through Harry's body while Wormtail was extracting it contained 
Spider Venom. During the last obstacle in the maze Harry had encountered the 
massive spider and it caught him in the leg. Harry seems to be having much 
trouble with his arm and leg when it comes to Spider Venom, Basilisk Venom, 
Blood Extraction, etc...

When I think about it, I would think that the phoenix tears will have more of 
an impact than just healing wounds. As we can see it will counteract the 
effects of any poison in an instant. Harry has the phoenix at his disposal 
most of the time and it seems to come in handy. However, Harry was weakened 
by the Spider Venom and therefor the blood would not have been as useful as 
if he hadn't been poisoned. Perhaps, a Harry at full strength will be even 
more powerful than L.Voldermort. I've thought about this many times, and time 
will only tell whether or not this is what will happen.

Wands:
I am sure this has been mentioned a million times, essays have been written 
on it, and everyone has read so much about this subject. A we have seen in 
many instances Harry does not need a wand to do magic. We know that some of 
the most powerful magic, i.e., Animagus transformation, does not involve the 
use of a wand. 

Before Harry had received his wand he tended to do magic without his 
knowledge really. He wanted things to happen, but something similar, if not 
different happens, i.e., his hair growing back as soon as he came back from 
the barber. (Perhaps, on a side note, that Witches and Wizards do not need to 
cute their hair, its simple genetics that makes it that way and magic makes 
it stay that way.) Once Harry had received his want he became more powerful, 
even without a wand. When Aunt Marge ticked him off he blew her up, not sure 
if this is intentional, but as he was leaving the cupboard flew open at a 
single thought and he had that fury like Dumbledore in his eyes.

Perhaps, The tears of the phoenix, the same phoenix that gives Harry the core 
to his wand, gives a little magic into his blood, giving him the ability to 
do magic by thought alone, using his own mind as a vessel to channel his 
energy.

Obi-Wan-Kanobi:
For those who are not familiar with this character from Star Wars, he gave 
his life up, and in his spiritual form was more useful to the cause of good 
in the movie.

People seem to think that Dumbledore will die. If he does die I feel that he 
will be even more powerful. He says that he will never have truly left as 
long as there are those who remain loyal to him. He will come back even more 
powerful to help Harry along the journey if he is defeated/gives up, Obi-Wan 
Kanobi style.

As well, Harry is psychic, perhaps even more powerful than Professor 
Trelawney. From the first dream of Professor Quirell's turban telling him 
that he must switch to Slytherin, to the owl regarding Crouch Sr.'s death. He 
has never been wrong and is becoming more aware of this each and every time. 
As we have seen that Magical death is different from that of Muggle death, 
and if Dumbledore does not come back as a ghost, maybe he will come back to 
Harry in his dreams, or when he really needs help.

And that's all I have to say about that
