I think that maybe the clue was that Harry managed to push that bead 
of energy thing back towards LV. Wouldnt that mean Harry is more 
powerful. Also he was very emotional at this time, maybe that's got 
something to do with it? You all know what i'm getting at. Come to 
think of it When its one on one Harry has always beaten him, and I 
don't think its just luck, he manages to overcome through sheer 
force of will, burning Quirrel, stabbing the diary, the bead of 
light incident, and being able to throw of LV when he possessed him 
at the end of OOTP. Please tell me if you think i'm way off here
