Exactly. Isn't that what I've said?

Sorry.
Don't see what you're getting at.
Voldy is told Harry has sufficient power to defeat him.
He invades Harry to find out what it is and gets thrown out.
Are you saying he knows what that power is?
Because "the power he knows not" occurs towards the end of the
Prophecy and Voldy didn't hear it. (See OoP chap 36 where DD explicitly
states that Voldy never heard that bit.)
Or are you saying because he doesn't know what it is, it's obvious what
it is?
Please elucidate.
