Harry's Protective Barriers

In Chapter 36 of GoF:

"He said my blood would make him stronger than the protection my -- my  mother left in me -- he'd have it too. And he was right -- he could touch me without hurting himself, he touched my face."

For a fleeting instant, Harry thought he saw a gleam of something like triumph in Dumbledore's eyes. But next second, Harry was sure he had imagined it, for when Dumbledore had returned to his seat behind the desk, he looked as old and weary as Harry had ever seen him.

"Very well," he said, sitting down again. "Voldemort has overcome that particular barrier. Harry please continue."

Do we know of any "other barriers,"? Who, besides Lily, has placed "barriers" to protect Harry?

Since Dumbledore smiled when it was revealed that Voldemort succeeded in overcoming "that particular barrier" ... does this mean that Dumbledore is leading Voldemort on a merry chase to his own destruction, with Harry as the bait? 

Dumbledore is very pleased that Harry has held his own in every life-threatening situation. I think Harry is being groomed to take his place beside some very strong forces in the fight against Voldemort. My idea for the ending of Book Five is that no one person will defeat Voldemort. I think it will be a battle royal, with the best of each group defeating V's best attempts. The scene on the train where Malfoy pushed Harry too far... Ron, Harry,  and Hermione zap Malfoy, each unbeknownst to the other's intentions.... and the sudden surprise appearance of Fred & George, who also had flung curses at Malfoy... I think this is a clue of what is to come, and that the end will happen exactly like that. Only, instead of Fred & George, it will be Snape and Hagrid. I think that Hagrid's purposely downplaying his magical abilities for a greater purpose. Revenge is a dish, best served cold.
