"HP didn't deflect the spell, even LV knows that now,  "My *curse 
was deflected by the woman's foolish sacrifice,* and it rebounded 
upon me." [emphasize mine, of course].  It had nothing to do with 
HP's powers."

Meidbh again:
Good point - I like it but I'm not convinced yet. Bear with me here 
I don't have the books to hand...

If Lily dies before VM attacks Harry (did it happen this way?)
Then - at the time Harry is attacked it is he and he alone 
deflecting the curse, whether through some innate power of his own 
OR (as VM says above) through the protection conferred on him by 
Lily's sacrifice. She made the sacrifice, she cast the spell, but 
Harry received the power to deflect VMs attack (albeit unwittingly). 
Harry had the power.

What do you think?
