I'm confused about why everyone is constantly saying he's a weak wizard. I haven't read the books in a while, but from what I remember, he was bad at school, yet was good at everything practical. I mean, he performed an amazing patronus charm at age 13, fought voldemort, fought off death eaters twice, almost killed Malfoy, can speak parsletongue, resisted two imperius curses, and has done all that other magic stuff.
Let's not forget that he received 7 out of 9 O.W.L.s, he even scratched an 'E' (exceeds exceptations) on Potions, with Snape as a teacher, his least favorite class. This means he STILL qualifies to become an Auror, which is Harry's ambition. There's little wonder as to why Harry's Patronus is far stronger (the strongest?) of most accomplished wizards - he can love, including but not limited to his parents, moments, and friends. BTW, Harry's use of some Dark Arts doesn't really count towards all this.. it's not his forte, and he detests it (you have to admit though, Harry is a hypocrite for having used the Dark Magic he fights against).
