The Love Shield Magic is comprised of TWO, count them TWO, parts.

Part 1- Love's Sacrifice

When Lily sacrificed herself for Harry, she left him with a lasting
protection that ,in all likelihood, prevented Voldemort from killing
him. In addition, it protected Harry from Quirrel's evil touch, and
while Voldemort can touch Harry now, according the Dumbledore, Harry's
mother's sacrifice still protects him. This Sacrifice of Love is an
eternal ancient magic in it's own right.


Part 2 - The Protection of Blood

When if fell upon Dumbledore to protect Harry, he decided that the
best protection was to build upon the protection that Lily had already
given Harry. So, to 'Love's Sacrifice' he added the 'Protection of
Blood'. When Petunia agreed to take Harry in, she sealed the Ancient
Magical Blood Protection Charm, and enhanced Harry's protection so
that even Voldemort himself, powerful as he is, can not harm Harry
while he is in the 'house of his blood'.

Dumbledore's effort, in a sense, merged the two protections together
to create a very strong, nearly impregnable, safeguard for Harry.
However, in my opinion, the merging of the two to create the ultimate
protection, doesn't stop the existance of or the protection given by
Lily's sacrifice as a separate entity. That love, sacrifice, and
protection will alway be there; it is unrelated to any geographic
location. It exits within Harry, where ever he may be.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.




Now Neri:
See, this is the part that most confuses me in the whole HP saga, and 
I'm sure it is meant to, since it is the key to everything. Let's put 
it more plainly:

1. After using Harry's blood for his resurrection, Voldy can touch 
Harry. So it seems that Lily's sacrifice protection does not protect 
Harry from Voldy anymore. Or alternatively (the way it is according 
to Voldy) that Harry's blood gives Voldy protection against the pain. 
So it would have appeared that the sacrifice protection does NOT 
protect Harry from Voldy anymore, except in the Dursleys house where 
it is still reinforced by Petunia's pact. Voldy had tried AK-ing 
Harry twice since his resurrection, so he certainly believes this 
himself, and it seems DD believes this too, or he would have let 
Voldy AK Harry in the MoM battle and get hit by the rebound again.

2. Yet by the end of OotP, DD says that Voldy could not possess Harry 
because he could not reside in a body so full of a power he detests. 
Does this mean that the sacrifice protection IS TOO working? Or does 
it mean that the-power-that-Harry-has-in-abundance-and-Voldemort-
knows-not-at-all is NOT the sacrifice protection? 

3. But just a bit before (in that end of OotP talk) DD says that 
Lily's protection still resides in Harry's blood, so together with 
that power-that-is-something-else it gets awfully crowded in there.

4. And if we assume (as I still tend to do) that these powers are one 
and the same, then how can Voldy reside in his OWN new body, when the 
power he detests runs in its veins?

Can anybody get out of this?
