I think that Harry must gain control of his emoitions 
in order to realize his full potential as a wizard.
I don't know if this has been said before; I haven't 
read it in this group.  

Look at AD, the most powerful wizard of the time.  We
have never seen him loose control of his emotions.  I
don't have the exact quote handy, but when he was 
deuling with LV in OoP he spoke to LV as if chatting 
over a cup of tea.  

We already know that you must be able to conjure up 
the appropriate emotions in order to work a spell 
properly (e.g. happiness for Patronus).  If this 
holds true for a larger variety of spells, only a 
wizard who has total emotioanl control can be a great 
wizard.

Does Tom Riddle also have such control over his 
emotions?  Or does he only have control over his darker
emotions--anger and hatred?  Perhaps this will come to
be his downfall.  He is not a great wizard at all, but 
merely a great dark wizard.

How ironic would it be if the greatest dark wizard in
the last century met his ultimate demise at the hands 
of a boggart, because he couln't think of anything 
laughable after so many years of enducing terror.
