If you are to believe that it is love that would defeat LV, then Harry's
love would have much more significance than another wizard's love.

Plus I have a pet theory that Harry is a Horcrux, but with Lily's love to
protect Harry from the ill effects of possesing 1/7 of Voldie's soul for
15+ years.  and the same 1/7 sould of Voldemort's that is "corrupted" 
with love from Harry that will be Volermort's undoing.
