That is a very intersting idea... Unless I decide to go into my wild 
imagination, i can't really think of anything else that would make 
sense. So the magic power is love? and if voldermort doesn't have 
this... maybe all he needs is a hug? I mean... Tom as a kid decided 
to kill his parents, couldn't have been too much love over there.. 
SO in the end, maybe all he needs is the touch of another human... 
the love of someone else.. I mean, all the Death Eaters are scared 
out of their wits of him... maybe all he wants is a friend? (heh heh 
heh, sorry)

But I can picture in book 7, Voldermort on his knees, and harry puts 
both his hands on voldie chest (the power, like you said, will come 
from inside harry, not a wand)and a giant white light flashes, and 
all the people voldermort killed appear again... dunno, just a 
thought. Wait... have voldermort and harry every had any physical 
contact? I know there was book 1, but that was Quirrel, not voldie 
who touched harry.. maybe the power really does come from within

Here's something else though... If harry has this power... something 
that voldie can never have... and the wands can't really attack each 
other... this is obviously an edge for harry... voldie cannot kill 
harry... his wand won't let him (well... I'm not too sure how the 
REverse Spell Effect really works. p697 book 4) then harry can 
just "attack" voldie with his love... possible a box of chocolates 
and outstretched arms for a hug?

lol - jeff
