You know, the power that Harry has that Voldemort doesn't...

It's not love, it's humility.  Specifically, the humility to acknowledge to yourself that you need help and ask for it.

Think about it, hasn't a big deal been made about asking for help?  In CoS Dumbledore says help will always be given to those who ask for it, and Malfoy sneers.  And when Harry asks Dobby for help about finding a place for the DA practices, he gets it immediately.  And when Harry is in that spinning room and he asks which way is the exit, it shows him.  And when Harry wakes up after seeing the attack on Mr. Weasley, Neville runs to get help and brings exactly who Harry wanted.

At some point, I think this whole thing may hinge on Harry asking either Neville or Wormtail (or perhaps both) for help.
