The theroy of "Object of Power" is a good one.  I like that.  My only
objection is that LV's "Objects" are different than Harry's "Objects."  LV is obsessed with the past and his "lineage."  Of course, he has no lineage so he had to make one up.  Therefore, he became obsessed with the Hogwarts founders because to him Hogwarts was home.  Their relics became his sacred objects, his source of power.

Harry on the other hand isn't concerned about his lineage.  He is proud to have his mother's eyes and her sense of caring and was upset at his father's arrogant behavior and his sense of superiority.

Harry's personal source of power comes from love and caring, not
lineage.  His friends, mentors, his parent's friends, etc. are his greatest assets in his quest.  So his Objects of Power would be real
magical objects of the here and now.  Not historical relics that have been possessed or tampered with.

Just my thoughts and hopes.
