Tonks here:

If I understand this, you are saying that Harry did wandless magic 
as a baby and that plus Lily's sacrafice saved him. If that is true 
than there is more to Harry than we think. Would this say that Harry 
can not die either, for some reason? I don't think the author is 
going there. Harry is totally Human and capable of death like all 
the rest of us. I do think that perhaps there is something of the 
ancient magic in him as an *accident*/condition of his birth, which 
gives him powers the Dark Lord knows not.
