mother's blood. Staying with Petunia is not safe for Harry anymore.

this would imply that the protection is renewed for that entire 
year. But therefore, how were the Dementors able to get into Little 
Whinging at all? Is it that he is only protected against Voldmort? 
If so, why does Voldemort keep on assuming that AK is suddnely going 
to work against Harry?

Bookworm:
Dumbledore tells Harry (p836, US) "While you can still call home the 
place where your mother's blood dwells, there you cannot be touched 
or harmed by Voldemort....You need return there only once a year, 
but as long as you can still call it home, there he cannot hurt you."

I read this as Harry was safe from Voldemort, but not necessarily 
from anyone else.  So the dementors weren't affected by the "bond of 
blood".  The word "there" in the last sentence of the quote tells me 
that LV can't hurt Harry while he is with Petunia, but he could if 
Harry is out in public somewhere - like the Ministry.  I guess the 
next question is how big is the "there" - just the house, or all of 
Little Whinging, etc?
