It's more what JKR won't say, how she won't tell us what his 
parents did for work and why there's that door in the Ministry 
nobody can look behind. Love is the most powerful force there 
is, yes? It's the power the Dark Lord knows not. Lily and James 
certainly understand love, Lily especially. 'Seeing the beauty 
in others even when they couldn't see it themselves', even 
though that's movie-speak, was apparently so close to the canon 
Rowling was thrown. Sounds like at least some form of love to me. 
And there's definitely sex magic in history, why not love magic? 
Wouldn't have to be Lily and James' love necessarily, it could be 
their love for Harry, their friends, or any number of things. But 
I have a feeling it's key, since there's so much emphasis put on 
love as a force in general.
