I was thinking that was obvious- the other power involving eyes, he 
can do the same thing that LV does, that legilimency thing, 
naturally. He just can't control or understand it, from what I have 
read, from what I understand of it. He sort of gleans things from 
people when he looks at them, doesn't he? (Like his looking at DD and 
such in book 5, yes he's connected to LV but that's different.) 

And he's been getting it from LV all this time, right back to day one 
with Quirrel's turban in his dreams- so why not his ability be just 
like LVs but not as mature? The occlumency thing is like backwards in 
that respect, he's the opposite, so maybe that aside from the obvious 
problems in class of a teacher who doesn't help him along and his 
neglecting practice, could be the problem for his inability to use it.

The summons and uniting people like Fawkes comes to him and others 
helping him has already been explained by DD, it was his faith in 
others, it seems. (or in his own ability- accio broom, triwizard 
tourney?)

Wandless magic I think is just something that's not expanded upon 
enough, it happens during times of great emotion, so if you're in 
danger you're obviously gonna have great emotion. I think they just 
forget about it since it's not promoted in class. You use your wand, 
so that's the way they learn the magic. I think it's more wild and 
harder to control, since it's random.
