Voldemort speaks-

"But how to get at Harry Potter? For he as been better protected than
I think even he knows, protected in say DEVISED BY Dumbledore long
ago, when it fell to him to arrange the boy's future. DUMBLEDORE
INVOKED an ancient magic, to ensure the boy's protectin as long as he
is in his relations care. Not even I can touch him there."

The big flaw in the 'Blood Protection' plan is that in order to be
protected, you have to stay at home. Dudley could be in danger at
school, Petunia that the grocery story, and Vernon at work. 

I've always thought there would be a direct attack on the Dursleys,
but now I wonder if the Dementor attack was it, or if a bigger scarier
attack is still coming?

For what it's worth.

*Kimberly's comment*
Can someone clear something up for me ?   I didn't read the prophecy as "Harry is safe AT the Dursley's or that he can't be harmed there".   I took it as, "As long as he could call it home (doesn't say as long as he is AT home), the protection was in place."    

But now, according to Steve's quote above, I am unclear.    Is Voldemort mistaken and misinterpreting the ancient magic ?    Does he think he can't hurt Harry AT the Dursley's or is he aware that Harry has to be able to call the Dursley's home in order to have protection.    The way I read it, there's a HUGE difference.    If it were that Harry (and the Dursley's if they're indeed included) is only protected AT the Dursley's, then that would mean Harry has NO protection outside of there.   We know that isn't true based on the incidents that Voldemort hasn't been able to touch Harry.   Right ?    

Any comments ?    Insights ?
