I have been listening to the tapes of the GofF.....as one who is
a HP addict.


There is a constantly recurrent theme --- under the protection
of Albus Dumbledore...

Lord Voldemort was taking over..the only safe place was at
Hogwarts..

Voldemort himself says that he couldn't touch Harry because he
was under the protection of AB

So..what is that about?

Why did Dumbledore send Harry to the Dursleys rather than keeping him 
himself? Too busy? Did he know the Dursleys were abusive (aside from
the ancient magic that protected Harry while he was with birth
relatives? (a question for JKR)

Is Dumbledore's power and protection tied up with spells around
Hogwarts? (as in Charles DeLint's Moonheart) What is HIS connection 
with Godric Gryffindor?
