For a while now Ive been thinking the same thought everytime Harry 
does something unusually magical or shows the talent for it, like 
for instance, the recent idea that he'd be good at legillimancy.

Most of the time when something like this happens, people are quick 
to say that Harry would be good at it or can do it because Voldemort 
can do it. That it was just another one of his powers he 
accidentally transferred to Harry.

I think to myself most times I come by these ideas, "Hey hang on a 
sec... How come this has to come from Voldemort? Why can't Harry be 
powerful in his own right? If the transfer had not taken place, 
would Harry just have the same normal wizarding powers as everyone 
else?"

Ill concede the parseltongue business because that is exceedingly 
rare. But for most things I like to think that Harry would have been 
powerful and skilled at most magic without the added presence or 
gifts of Voldy. I tend to think that Harry has the potential to be 
as powerful as Dumbledore at some point but is definately more 
powerful than Voldemort. I've thought this since he forced those 
little balls of light back into Volys wand in the graveyard.

Anyone have any thoughts on Harrys natural ability versus the extra 
ability given him by the most feared wizard for a century?

Jason, who thinks Harry is going to be the most powerful wizard 
since Gryffindor.
