I certainly hope not! After reading 7 books about Harry to learn at
the end that he was just a spear carrier for Neville and of no
importance would be a huge disappointment and make readers feel like
suckers for spending all that time on Harry. JKR is smarter than that
and there is a reason she didn't call the first book "Neville
Longbottom and the Philosopher's Stone."

know what that power is, I hope it's more than just love.

No! I hate it when the villain says "I could kill you this instant and
win but instead I'm going to explain to you everything I did and give
you time to overpower me."
