I've NEVER considered the idea that Harry's capacity for Love
has already fulfilled its purpose in the prophecy and may no
longer be that integral to the plot. DD's emphasis of it,
JKR's consistent return to it and it's prominence in the
prophecy seem to give it more importance, IMO. I am working
under the assumption that it is pivotal. I have an unformed
thought involving:

1. The "Old Magic" that Lily's Love infused Harry's blood with.

2. The fleeing of Lord Voldemort's spirit from within Harry when
Harry felt love for Sirius.

3. The triumph that DD seemed to feel when he heard Lord V now
has Harry's Love infused blood flowing through his veins.

4. That Snape loved Lily and that he will not only be there at
the end but may also be willing to sacrifice himself for Harry,
as Lily did.
