I am under the impression that his mother took specific action to ensure the baby would be born to be a weapon; a wizard with the power to stand against... (outsiders, at least, perhaps the 'Adversary' also? & probably more). Martha Liberty commented on this in one of the earlier books.,,  sort of related topic: I find Harry's no-longer-supressed memories of his confrontation with He-Who-Walks-Behind (HWWB), from Ghost Story, to be VERY interesting. Can't help wondering what HWWB was waiting for, what he expected to happen, after touching Harry. It seemed that HWWB was surprised with Harry's reaction (prior to Harry actually attacking HWWB). Really curious what HWWB was waiting for or expecting Harry to do.
