Wandless Harry and his powers

Just finished re-reading Order of the Phoenix and realised that there
is a scene when harry is looking for his wand while fighting the
dementors and out of desperation says "lumos" and the wand starts to
give off light even though Harry is not holding it. I wonder if that
means that Harry has special powers to control wands and make magic
even from a distance? No further mention is made of this, and
certainly Harry does not dwell on it or think it to be unusual at all.

Also, JKR is really stretching the bounds of credulity by making Harry
appear to be a very ordinary wizard (even incapable of doing
non-verbal spells, and useless at occlumency and leglimency), yet one
who is supposed to have been marked as an equal by Voldemort. It does
not add up, at the very least Harry should have some extra-ordinary
skills that would make him stand out when compared to his peers. Yes
ability to talk to snakes is in him, but he has no special skills when
it comes to combating dark magic or even for that matter successfully
overcoming the defenses of other dark wizards, so how is he supposed
to fight the most powerful dark wizard of all?

Maybe Harry will love Voldemort into death? Wouldnt that be great? I
think Harry would have to show a lot more power (even with his ability
to love) to finally take on and best Voldemort. But this does not
appear to be very likely as JKR seems determined to keep Harry as an
average wizard at best.
