I know this discussion is over, but anyway.
Reading the ending of PS/SS again I came upon this
quote:

(PS/SS Chapter 10)

"But why couldn't Quirrell touch me?"
"Your mother died to save you. If there is one thing
Voldemort cannot understand, it is love. He didn't
realize that love as powerful as your mother's for you
leaves its own mark. Not a scar, no visible sign... to
have been loved so deeply, even though the person who
loved us is gone, will give us some protection
forever. It is in your very skin. Quirrell, full of
hatred, greed, and ambition, sharing his soul with
Voldemort, could not touch you for this reason. It was
agony to touch a person marked by something so good."

This statment by Dumbledore makes me reconsider the
whole power issue, it says very clearly here that the
reason why Quirrel!LV couldn't touch Harry was because
of the protection Lily left him, and this is love. I
guess I'll have to eat my own words.
