Dumbledore's "gleam" revisited

I had the most interesting thought today in the shower (place of 
great thoughts)...

We know from Dumbledore's comments at the end of GoF, that Harry is 
protected by some more "old magic" while he is in the care of his 
relatives.  Voldemort confesses that he is unable to touch him there.

We can infer that Voldemort has a touch of tunnel vision in his 
pursuit of immortality (i.e. when he forgets about the possible 
protective properties of Lily's sacrifice).  It would seem that, in 
his pursuit of power and the dark arts, that Voldemort doesn't look 
deeply into the protective arts.

WHAT IF...this "old magic" that protects Harry has a bit more behind 
it.  Perhaps "in the care of his relatives" could also translate 
to "in the care of those who share his blood."

COULD IT BE that Voldemort is now, in some magical sense, a blood-
relative of Harry's?  Voldemort was, after all, unable to kill Harry 
during their duel.  In fact, all of his death eaters were likewise 
thwarted.  Since Harry was brought via portkey to Voldemort at 
Voldemort's bidding, it could be that this made Harry "in the care of 
Voldemort" who called him.  Perhaps Voldemort is unaware of some of 
the total ramifacations of this "old magic" placed by Dumbledore.

Perhaps...Voldemort Is Thwarted As Magic Is Nullified By Old Magic By-
product???  VITAMIN BOMB, anyone?
