Magical protection

I've always wondered about the special magic that keeps Harry safe when
he is with the Dursleys.  Is it perhaps that they are so unmagical that
this, oddly enough, gives them special powers, or makes them impervious
to seriously damaging magic?  After all, Harry is delivered to the
Dursleys because he will be safe there according to Dumbledore.  If
anyone has read the "Scent of Magic" books by Cliff McNish, the most
magical child of all the children has no magical powers whatsoever and
accordingly is impervious to magic.

A second not really related thought.  I always loved the concept of the
secret keeper.  I wonder if Dumbledore keeps Snape safe from Voldemort
in return for Snape keeping an eye out for Harry.  ie  If anything
happens to Harry, Snape will lose Dumbledore's protection.
