And I referenced a quote in OOTP, where Dumbledore specifically said that 
Harry was able to do what neither his parents nor Neville's were able to do: defy 
LV 4 times.

I think Harry's accomplishments were even greater than his parents and the 
Longbottoms were.  They were adults. Fully trained wizards.  Harry is a child 
adn has  succeeded in defeu, Harry as a school boy has managed something that 2 
sets of adults hadn't been able to do.
