In GoF Voldemort says that the ancient magic that
protects Harry means that not even he can touch him at
Privet Drive.  So if Voldemort can't touch Harry how
come the Dementor's could? 

Me <Vinnia>:

OOP p 737UK (ch The Lost Prophecy)
-start quote-
"While you can still call home the place where your
mother's blood dwells, *there* you cannot be touched
or harmed by Voldemort. He shed her blood but it lives
on in you and her sister. Her blood became your
refuge. You need to return there only once a year, but
as long as you can still call it home, whilst you are
*there* he cannot hurt you.

1. I think that *there* means 4 privet Drive. So Harry
has to be inside to be protected. Which is why after
the dementor incident Harry was told, by Arthur,
Sirius and Petunia, not to leave the house.

2. I wonder if the PrivetDrive charm only works
against Voldemort. He was the one who shed her blood,
therefore, Lily's blood is Harry's refuge from
Voldemort only. This means that the DE can hurt Harry
in PD, but Dumbledore must have known that Voldemort
would want to kill Harry himself. 

Just my 2 cents
