Alright, I have posted previously about a very plausible explanation 
for the gleam in Dumbledore's eyes and the use of Harry's blood in 
Voldemort's downfall.  I wanted to add this from an interview with 
JKR...

>>BBC: And how vital is Book Four in the 7 book series for Harry?
Crucial. 

JKR: Book Four's a very very VERY important book. Something very 
important happens in Book Four. But also, it's literally a central 
book. It's almost the heart of the series, and it's pivotal. It's 
very difficult to talk about all seven books. I can't wait until the 
day when someone's read all seven and I can talk completely freely 
about them, but it's a very important book. <<

OK. So we know that Book 4 is pivotal. I propose that the "something 
very important" is that Voldemort uses Harry's blood in his 
resurrection.

Why?

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 even confesses (at the beginning of GoF when 
he's talking with Wormtail and during their duel at the end) that he 
is unable to touch him there.

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.

Has Voldemort conferred his own bit of protection upon Harry?  Could 
it be that his resurrection "technique" combined with 
Dumbledore's "old magic" used to protect Harry will be a part of V's 
downfall?

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