It also could be that Dumbledore wasn't quite sure that Harry did 
have such a protection on him in the first place.  I bet that once he 
rushed into the chamber where the Sorcerer's Stone was being held and 
saw what happened to Quirell and Harry's own recount that Dumbledore 
finally figured it out and knew why Voldemort couldn't kill Harry 
when he was a baby.

I also agree on the fact that if Dumbledore did know ahead of time, 
he didn't tell Harry since he didn't want Harry to go around 
like, "Hey, don't worry about Voldemort.  He can't touch me!"

Thanks
