Heheh, here it comes. As usual, I start it up with the first idea.
HP/Magic:the Gathering xover. What if the 'power which he knows not' is the Planeswalker's Spark?
Yes, that implies that Harry's potential compared to the rest of the Wizarding world is so huge it is almost unfunny - but that's all it is at the moment, POTENTIAL.
As Magic teaches, without either a proper teacher to teach him the Planeswalking ways, OR a major event, usually traumatic, awakening it, Harry's power will stay dormant.
Take the Green Planeswalker, Freyalise of Kjeldor... it took her death to trigger the Spark, literally. Others, like Jaya Ballard, Kjeldoran Taskmage, learned on their own, through sheer luck. And others still, like Karn, the Silver Golem of Urza's Legacy, were trained for that specific role by a 'Walker himself.
Harry would probably fit into one of the first two categories - traumatic event or dumb luck. And even then, without knowledge a 'Walker's power is wasted, so eventually Harry will have to seek greater knowledge, as even with a 'Walker's power, without knowing how it works he still can't deal with Voldemort.
Thoughts?
