The protection lies in blood. As long as Harry has a place to call
home, he is safe. This is why Dumbledore sent Harry to live with
the Dursleys, not allowing Sirius to keep him. So, Harry's protection
is Petunia and Dudley.

Now, on to Dumbledore's famed look of triumph. This very blood of
Lily's, Petunia's and Dudley's is now in Voldemort. Right?

Voldemort sees it as protection for himself and/or a way to touch
Harry. But, has Voldy now sealed the one thing he wanted to break?
I can see Voldy going after Petunia and Dudley, but then he and
Harry would remain. Harry's protection would lie in Voldemort. Am I
making any sense???

Wormtail tried to get him to use someone else's blood. Will his decision
to use Harry backfire? If he really wants to harm Harry, he'll have to do
himself in.
