More to the point, does Lily's blood protection even work against Voldemort 
anymore? I thought he overcame that little obstacle in book four when he 
used Harry's blood to resurrect himself. If Voldemort 'shares' Lily's blood 
protection now that he shares her blood (through Harry's), as he claimed in 
book four, what's to stop him strolling into Privet Drive and slaughtering 
Harry?

There's obviously more to this whole "Lily's blood" thing than meets the 
eye. Remember Dumbledore's triumphant glint when Harry told him about 
Voldemort taking his blood? I'm think Dumbledore knows something about the 
whole Petunia-Lily-Harry-blood thing that we - and Voldemort - don't.

Two cents,

Laik.
