Tom Riddle was a half-blood raised in a Muggle orphanage, who ended 
up in Slytherin.
 
Is it possible that he never received any love from anyone ?
 
That would explain why Harry has a power that LV doesn't know : not 
because Harry has exceptionally a lot of love, but simply because LV 
never received any.
 
Am I completely crazy, or is it worth exposing my ideas supporting 
this theory, and my suppositions about the future of the War ?
 

Dharma replies:

I think that you are onto something here.  LV seems to have a problem 
underestimate the power of reciprocal relationships, which tends to 
lead to Harry's escape every time that he tries to kill him, or come 
back.

Harry is able to get to SS, because he has bonds with Hermione and 
Ron.  He acquires the tools to destroy Riddle's memory and Basilisk 
through loyalty to DD.  Pettigrew, one of Voldemort's "loyal" Death 
Eaters, now has a life debt to Harry.  The shadows of the slain and 
the Faux helped him escape the graveyard in PoA.  DD was able to stop 
Crouch from killing Harry, because he knew what to expect from the 
real Moody.  And in OotP, it is clear that everyone in the Order, 
including Snape, has enough motivation to fight to keep Harry alive.

I think that you should talk about your ideas.  There is quite a bit 
of support from the canon that Harry receives love and varying 
measures of positive regard. What else are you thinking about?
