If it was really Harry's in-build protection, I would have thought 
we'd see something similar when Moody put him under the Imperius 
Curse, or during the graveyard scene in GoF.

Bookworm:
How do we know Harry's protection didn't deflect the spells in the 
graveyard?  And the Imperious Curse is a forbidden curse because it 
takes away free will, but it doesn't necessarily directly harm the 
victim. If no spell can be used on Harry, then Lockhart wouldn't 
have been able to disolve Harry's arm after the Quidditch game.  
Maybe the protection senses the intent of the spell caster?  We 
don't know - yet.  But Elihu's comparision is worth thinking about.
