me again, answering myself:
i believe also that in SS/PS, in the chapter Keeper of the keys, that Hagrid
says that Harry's name has been written down since he was born.  And Hagrid,
Dumbledore and McGonigal were all there at Privet Drive on the night Harry
was left with the Dursleys.  I'm confident that Harry was born a magical
child and only some of his powers came from Voldemort.

Sherry, wondering if it's as bad to answer your own email as to talk to
yourself?
