He may have not known about Privet Drive, giving Dumbledore the 
opportunity to put the charm on it.

I believe the charm at Privet Drive is magic, but not the Ancient 
Magic that V. refers to.  'The bond of love' is also something that 
V. wouldn't think of. 
The charm at Privet drive, I believe, is more in the line of 'Secret 
Keeper' using "bloodlines charm" to protect the house.  It begs the 
question, why did James and Lily have to have a secret keeper to 
protect them in Godric's Hollow, then?   I'm still among the 
believers that Ms. Figg was the Secret Keeper for Harry. 
Sorry, more questions, fewer answers.
