If only I  could claim  the credit, but  I  can't.

Can't exactly  put my  finger on it, but I read a back post soon
after I joined the site that pointed out how much luck had played 
in Harry's survival. 

But Luck  as a power? Can't say that I've thought of it that way.
Certainly it could be a deciding factor in certain circumstances, 
much as it has already. But Harry's had some mishaps along the 
way (falling off broomsticks, ruining potions etc.) so I reluctantly
have to doubt Luck sitting on his shoulder. Interestingly, it seems
to work best when he faces Voldy, so your idea of V.  having bad
luck might be close to the mark.
