You can picture harry as wearing someone down by coming at them again and again — never one big blow, but a steady stream of small attacks, demands, or that gives the other person no rest. The original picture is a raiding force hitting an enemy over and over; the everyday picture is the same relentless coming-at-you, just turned into nagging and pressure instead of swords.
