listed as one of DD major achievements.  Interestingly hermione 
is "reciting the 12 uses of dragon's blood" at the start of ch14 in 
PS. Did DD have anything to do with devising the charm Lily used to 
protect Harry?

capitalisation) they have/are imbued with the same type of magic 
which protects Harry. Also, if we assume that Voldemort did give 
Harry his scar, then maybe it is the result of the charm being 
penetrated.

Bookworm:
I have also noticed the mentions of dragons and dragons' blood but 
haven't come to any conclusions about it. I did post something about 
Dumbledore, the Ancient Magic and Lily several months ago 
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/message/99076) and 
think there is something there.  Lily was presumably good at charms, 
Voldemort didn't place value on Ancient Magic, Dumbledore appears to 
know a lot about it...
