Oh, I LOVE that dialogue! I put the last line down as my favorite HP 
line, btw :) 

I think what's incredible about Luna (among other things) is, as you 
say, her spirituality and the depth of her belief. She has a 
confidence and wisdom that I think even the most intelligent adults 
in HP can rarely even reach. I don't think it's coincidental that 
her name (leaving aside her wretched surname for the moment) is 
representative of that which is intuitive, spiritual, mysterious, 
and generally known as "feminine", things which I think Harry is 
often lacking in his life. I'd trust her over anyone else as a guide 
for Harry. (I *don't* think Dumbledore is nearly as wise as we're 
often told he is, but that's a whole 'nother kettle of fish...)
