"Love" is the power to vanquish LV

     I'm new so be patient with me here. I've had a theory since 
finishing OoTP. The theme that has run strong through this series, 
especially for Harry, has been the assistance from those he cared 
about. Ron and Hermione, Dumbledore, McGonagall, Hagrid, all have 
helped him in some ways to overcome his present situations. Most of 
all was the "blood protection" that Lily passed on to him through her 
death.
     This protection has served Harry well, and perhaps prevented his 
death at least twice at the hands of LV. However, does anyone really 
think Harry has the knowledge or power to defeat LV on his own? I 
personally don't think so and with that I offer this theory:
     Dumbledore by all accounts is more powerful than LV, has more 
knowledge, even of the dark arts(possibly), and is rumored to be the 
only one LV fears. Even though Harry has thwarted LV four times, LV 
still does not fear him, these things only make him angrier.
     Dumbledore has grown very fond of Harry, and some would say he 
even LOVES him like a son. What if, through his own sacrifice for 
Harry, Dumbledore somehow transfers his powers to Harry? I have 
thought and thought about this, and it seems the only way Harry can 
survive. I think Dumbledore is the only one with the knowledge and 
practical use of magic to defeat LV, and this would provide the method 
for Harry to fulfill the prophecy. What do you all think?
