 Yes. Dumbledore's charm protects Harry while he lives with the
Dursleys ("Lily's blood"). The charm I'm talking about (which is only
theoretical at this point) would have protected Harry through Lily's
death, deflecting the AK onto Voldemort.

Either that,
or Harry was born with special powers that would enable him and him
alone to stop LV. I don't think that either of these is the case.

There may be some additional points that I'm forgetting, but basically
I believe that the self-sacrifice is not enough *in itself* to protect
Harry and that he was not born with that protection, so something else
is necessary to explain what happened.

I absolutely see what you are saying now.    There were two charms on Harry, one placed by Lily because she knew Harry was in danger and the other placed by Dumbledore after James and Lily died.    Makes total sense.    As you said, doesn't mean it is an absolute but evidence supports it and we have nothing to disprove it.    

Kimberly, *I solemnly swear I am up to no good, but will refrain from continued questions about Lily's charm (for now, *G*)
