Tonks:

I am beginning to wonder if Power isn't a major point in the HP books.  
We see the craving for Power, the misuse of Power, the quest for the 
Ultimate Power, etc.  And in DD we see the gentle form of Power of one 
who knows who he is and what he can do.  We see in DD a man who has a 
great deal of personal power, but does not misuse it.  And we see Harry 
discovering that the high form of Love is the highest form of Power.

Any thoughts?
