See above why I think the protection was not specific to LV. One
might say that this question doesn't have any importance now, if we
agree that Lily's protection doesn't work anymore anyway. However,
there is one scenario in which this question can be very important:
if LV believes he bought himself protection from anybody with Harry's
blood, but it actually doesn't work, LV might take a hit when he
least expects to.


vmonte responds:

I think the problem in Voldemort's thinking is that he never thinks 
things through, and he always underestimates people.  He thinks that 
he is only receiving the blood protection that Lily gave Harry, but 
what if Harry's father gave him another kind of protection; one that 
we don't know anything about yet.  Or better yet, what if Harry has 
his own kind of power (a power that Voldemort fears), and this power 
is now also coursing through LV's veins. 

The books are always comparing Harry with Lily, James, and Tom 
Riddle. What if Harry is more than the sum of his parents and scar 
traits. Why wouldn't Harry have his own traits and talents?  

I think that LV's downfall will be that he cannot think outside-of- 
the-box.  To LV Harry is what Lily gave him.  This also applies to 
the other characters in the book who see Harry as being like James or 
Lily, or TR, and not as an individual who is greater than the sum of 
his parts.
