In GoF, Voldy specifically says that Dumbledore invoked an old magic
that made Harry unreachable by Voldy when in the care of relatives. I
don't think it matters one way or another what the Dursleys think of this.

Does anyone else notice that there are several mentions of *old*
magic in this book? V's caudron and revival spell (reminding me of the
Cauldron-born and the Black Cauldron of Welsh/Lloyd Alexander Prydain)
(cauldron also showed up in a recent _Books of Magic_ comic, too,
btw.) is old, and Dumbledore's use of the old spell. Maybe i'm just
sensitized to those 'old' mentions because of Aslan referring to 'old
strong magic from before the beginning of time' in Narnia's universe.
