> Forgive me if I'm trodding on old ground here, but doesn't Harry's 
blood now make Voldemort MORE vulnerable? I mean, one of the biggest 
platforms of Voldemort's supporters (as well as that of the big guy I 
believe) is the survival of purebloods.  In using Harry's blood, the 
blood of one who is part muggle, hasn't Voldemort in essence tainted 
his own pure blood?  And couldn't this make him more susceptible to 
attacks...even the possibility of assassination at the hands of one 
of his own "pureblood" DE's?  

Why should it? After all, Tom Riddle, Voldemort's father and the 
unknowing bone-donator, was a muggle. Voldemort was a half-blood from 
start. And not just a half-blood, but one raised by muggles...

But why did it have to be _Harry's_ blood? I think that was because 
it was with Harry that Voldemort lost his powers, so he'd get most of 
them back by using Harry's blood... However, I think Harry has those 
powers too, he just doesn't know all of them (parseltongue is one of 
them, I think).

However... Flesh of a servant, willingly given, you will restore your 
master...

Pettigrew serves Voldemort WILLINGLY - no claiming being under 
Imperious or death-threat any more!

The Potion is tainted, because of the bond between Pettigrew and 
Harry...

Oh and.. Why did Voldemort offered Lily to live? Did he, perhaps, owe 
Lily a life-debt?
