Jen:  I like your idea and thought of a few items, sort of a 
variation on the items you proposed.  Like you said, Harry's power 
comes from his friends and the people who love him, so I've been 
considering some objects he's received from them.  Not fancy things 
either but humble things, because it makes sense the items would be 
the reverse of the kind of items that would attract Voldemort.

I've said this before but what the heck, we only have a couple of 
months to repeat ourselves now, right?  I've been waiting for one of 
Dobby's presents--the Snitch socks or the portrait of Harry in OOTP--
to come back at a critical juncture and prove to have some magical 
power.  Dobby will be shocked that Harry didn't realize one of them 
had magical power. :)

Will a Weasley sweater ever have another purpose?!?  I'm not banking 
on that one, just a thought.  There's the motorcycle from Sirius that 
now belongs to Harry.  I'm also wondering whether Petunia has 
something of Lily's she'll finally give to Harry, sort of like he got 
the Invisibility Cloak from James?  If it's not something Petunia had 
in her possession from the time when the sisters were younger, 
perhaps it's something Hagrid found in the ruins and tucked into 
Harry's blanket, forgetting to mention it during the night's events. 

I wonder if the set of books Sirius and Remus gave him at Christmas 
in OOTP will prove to have some valuable information?  And my last 
thought--Ron's watch.  I could see the possibility of both Ron's and 
Dumbledore's watches being more than meets the eye.
