I don't have the OOP with me but I thought I recalled Dumbledore telling
Harry
That he was only protected if he considered that his home was with the
Dursleys
(Petunia specifically).  Additionally returning once a year doesn't specify
for how long- 
it may be that the summer holidays are sufficient as a "once a year return"
because
he's actually living there- not just visiting.

Well, you rather side-stepped the issue by commenting on something 
that continued below:

Actually, that's not what Dumbledore said in OotP. He specifically 
stated that Harry "need only return there once a year."

The discussion continues...
