How's this for a theory:  the powers that "the Dark Lord knows not" 
could involve Harry's leadership and ability to make friends who 
will willingly fight for/with him (as opposed to out of fear like 
LV's supporters).  IMO that scene on the Hogwarts Express at the 
end, where a bunch of DA members zap D/C/G before they could attack 
Harry will appear significant later on.  Most of the DA's were names 
in the background before, but now they are becoming more prominent.  
The prophesy refers to "the one," but I think there will be more 
people involved supporting him – not just in a large fight, but in 
some way that combines their powers to make them even stronger.  As 
in the sum is more than...
