I think you are equivocating political power and political capital. Scaring dementors doesn’t show legitimacy quite the way winning elections does. In other words, political capital is a kind of political power, but not the only kind.
The blood debt was political capital. Scaring the dementor will create political power of another kind.

I’m not equivocating; I’m equating. Political power is political capital; political capital is political power. If you have one, you have the other.
