When you "raise a point", you are bringing up an issue to be discussed. After someone has raised a point, you can refer to it as "the point [that has been] raised."
One possible sense of take is consider, as in "take, for example, the lowly worm." (You are not being asked to physically acquire a worm, but to think about some aspect of it.)
Thus, when you want others to examine the issue that someone brought up, you can ask them to "take the point raised".
As was pointed out on that other question you linked, this is a surprisingly tricky sentence!
Let's slowly build it up.
It will take someone else.
What is "it"? Stopping Voldemort again. Implied but never directly said. As for "take", we could say "need" instead, just to be slightly clearer.
[Stopping Voldemort again] will [need] someone else.
This isn't "someone else" as in "we need a different person", but as in "we need other people prepared to do what you did, Harry". When will they be needed? "Next time" (that is, the next time that Voldemort tries to return).
[Stopping Voldemort again] will [need] someone else who is prepared to [do the same as Harry] next time.
Now, Dumbledore is saying that this someone else doesn't have to do much. Hence, it will "merely" (or "only") take someone else. This may sound like it's demeaning Harry's efforts, but it's meant to be reassuring Harry: standing up to Voldemort is not very difficult or unlikely after all, and it doesn't take someone extra-special to do it.
[Stopping Voldemort again] will merely [need] someone else who is prepared to [do the same as Harry] next time.
What, exactly, did Harry do that Dumbledore says they need other people to do (or be prepared to do)? "Fight a losing battle"--or what seems like a losing battle. (Dumbledore omits the word "like", but I'll leave it in for this one example.)
[Stopping Voldemort again] will merely [need] someone else who is prepared to fight a losing battle next time.
[Stopping Voldemort again] will merely [need] someone else who is prepared to fight what seems [like] a losing battle next time.
And now we just replace the bracketed bits with the different wording Dumbledore uses, and we have the sentence (okay, part of a sentence) that you bolded.
It will merely take someone else who is prepared to fight what seems a losing battle next time.

This idiom "snuggle up (to someone or something)" means "to cuddle up close to someone or something"
Here's a Cambridge definition:
I've done a little research and may suggest that it metaphorically means "to get into very close relationship with that person (to suck up to him)"
