I say:
But is that really true? I mean its true that he does
say "Stand aside" but would he really have expected
Lily to do it? I mean what kind of a mother would
stand aside and just let a maniac kill her son? So of
course she resisted. Besides her unconditional love is
the thing that has kept Harry alive. The key to
destroying Voldemort is love because he doesn't
understand it. Considering his childhood though thats
not surprising.
BTW I loved the fact that Dumbledore called Voldemort
Tom while they were dueling. 
Dumbledore is a powerful wizard because he has managed
to control his anger and channels it into his spells
and if Harry is going to defeat Voldemort he needs to
be able to do that too.
I hope Neville not Harry kills Bellatrix though.
