I think the whole point is that as long as he keeps the Dursley's as 
his "home", no.  Or something.  But it does make me wonder, exactly 
what protection is this blood thing giving him??  It certainly didn't 
do anything when he faced Voldemort at the end of GoF.  The only 
thing that saved Harry's hide was his own wits and the whole wand on 
wand thing. So, is Dumbledore just, um, stupid? lol
