Does this means we can now be sure she won't kill off Harry dear?

I don't think that this comment means she is not going to kill off 
Harry...I always assumed that in the summer of Book 7 Harry was going 
to be able to use magic, even when in Privet Drive with the Dursleys 
(assuming he is even going to stay with the Dursleys in the summer of 
Book 7).

Fred and George used magic in Oop, the summer of their seventh 
year...so Harry won't have to "go back" and jinx the Dursleys, Harry 
being a full wizard is something we're going to get to see in the 
opening chapters of Book 7 (remember - his seventeenth birthday is 
going to occur that July).

Cheers,
