I asked this before and never received a reply, I was beginning to 
think I was the only one who noticed this. I keep thinking about 
another certain someone that was unable to touch Harry.  Maybe it is 
just part of the protection that Harry received from his mom. I am 
certain that it will means something later on, because from what we 
have learned from Jo, the little thing that go unnoticed are 
ususally very important.

Well that was my last 2 cents.
