Harry's ability to love also provides him with a support system of friends that Voldemort can never hope to match. Harry's love for his parents instill him with an earnest determination to defeat Voldemort and rebell against anything associated with the Dark Arts (thus, Harry's refusal to be sorted into Slytherin House). Harry's own ability to love and be loved are the key traits that distinguish him from Voldemort and ensure that Harry will never be seduced by the Dark Arts. As Professor Dumbledore asserts, Voldemort is incapable of understanding love, particularly in comparison to the strength of his own dark power, and so he was taken entirely by surprise when it came to Lily's sacrifice. By sacrificing her own life to save that of her son, Lily Potter gave Harry an magical form of protection that shielded him from Voldemort's curse and nearly destroyed the dark wizard. Rowling demonstrates the power of love from the very beginning of the narrative by explaining that Harry's ability to survive Voldemort's killing curse is a direct result of his mother's love. Love plays a crucial role in " Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," as well as all of the remaining books in the series.
