Which chimes with what I have theorised on the appropriateness of love 
being the power that Lord Voldemort knows not: it Harry's (and thus 
every reader's) ordinary humanity which is capable of defeating evil. 
You don't need to be a fantastic magician, (which is why he isn't 
portrayed as one) just a decent person who makes the right choices. 
Every child who reads the series can aspire to being the latter, whilst 
the first is just make believe.
