Very good posting, I fully agree.
Just keep in mind what Rowling stated about Christian belief as a major key
to what will happen in book 7. If we connect this with the repeated
statements of Dumbledore, that love is the power Harry has to overcome
Voldemort, then Forgiveness is my solution for this equation.
It says "As we forgive those who trespass against us", there's nothing about
apologies from those, or revenge and retribution.
Ok, no theological discussion here. But I think that Harry could gain power,
if he will forgive people who had done wrong, wrong to him and others.
