Katie:
     I love this idea. I totally bet it's in book 7. I think 
forgiveness is more potent against evil than any other type 
of "love". And it fits perfectly with everything that Dumbledore has 
said, not to mention the prophecy: "mark him as his equal" - the 
Dark Lord thinking our boy is Slytherinesque, desiring power above 
all else; "but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not" - that 
would be the capacity to even love or forgive those who had hurt 
him. Not to mention that Neville could come in here too, because he 
has less reason to forgive Voldemort than anybody.

    I think everyone will *think* the power will lie in Harry's love 
for his parents, when actually it will lie in the far less likely 
love for Voldemort.




I'm sure that everyone thinks that it's some kind of emotion that helps Harry, though not many people have thought on how he would put it to use. I agree with you on this, and Harry is not the type to want to kill anyone. He may be able to think on the similarities with Voldie in their lives, and pity him for the things that were worse. Somehow I think that if Voldie got to Harry before Hagrid did and lied to him, with the way that his life was going, he would have helped Voldie because of that connection. I'm sure that he would not forgive him, however, he may be able to see connections that will help him with this.

The other parts might come from the fact that he Harry has people to love him and Voldie doesn't, he would pity him for never feeling that kind of love.
