David: Well my thinking is that the essence of goodness or fairness 
of GG was that your heritage didn't matter. Your heart and courage 
mattered. Thus, regardless of blood, the sorting hat could sort you 
into Gryffindor.

As my mind wanders, we've heard much of Sly, but relatively little 
about GG. Was he a prince? We know from canon that he was one of the 
greatest 4 wizards and witches of his time. Thus, is Harry a blood 
relative with these GG traits; compassion, bravery, fairness....

We know, at least DD believes, certain LV (or Sly) powers were 
transferred to Harry with the failed curse. But we know Harry seems 
to possess powers of his own (GG's?). Is it this combination of 
powers that directly or indirectly gives Harry the ability to take 
LV down?

Oh well...time will tell.
