Many apologies if this has already been dealt with - I searched the archives as thoroughly as I could and only saw a few discussions about it. Those discussions actually bring me to my question:
In one paragraph, Dumbledore tells Harry there is a room at the Department of Mysteries where a power more great and terrible than pretty much anything (I'm obviously paraphrasing) exists and that Harry has this in abundance and Voldemort has none of it. It is also the reason Voldemort could not stand to possess Harry for very long.
Is this supposed to be a tremendous mystery? At first, I thought so. Then I thought it must be obvious that she is talking about love, compassion, charity (as in the Biblical usage), etc. But I've been second-guessing myself. JKR is usually more direct about these issues when Dumbledore is explaining things. Could it be that what Harry possesses is a mystery for the future? Or am I reading WAY too far into this.
