Tonks:
To add to this, I think that JKR has said that Harry is "every boy" 
and many folks have said that he is "everyman", so I guess he is a 
stand in for the human race too. Or Adam to Ginny's Eve. And, of 
course, the beauty of the series is that one person can represent so 
many different things at the same time.

But I am still trying to understand how is the energy or power of 
Love stronger than Evil/Death?  

Maybe the reason we have Lily without a wand is to show us that 
while it appears that Lily is defenseless she in fact has a more 
powerful weapon, that of sacrificial Love. Here is a young woman, 
unarmed, told to stand aside; which shows us that the most powerful 
Dark wizard sees her as no threat and is not at all afraid of her, 
not even enough to exert any energy to AK her at that point.  She is 
a harmless nat.  But in this case the harmless nat wins the game 
for `everyman'?  

What is it about the ancient magic that makes this possible? Why is 
Love so powerful that it can overcome even Death?
