Actually, I think that by GoF the protection that Lily left to Harry 
is null and void, because LV has Harry's, and therefore Lily's, 
blood in him now (after the resurrection scene). In SS Quirell!Mort 
couldn't touch Harry because of that protection, but during the 
graveyard scene in GoF LV makes it a point to touch Harry's face to 
prove that he can now do so without trouble. The protection that 
made LV's curse rebound at Godric's Hollow is no longer a factor, 
but the protection that keeps Harry safe at Privet Drive is still 
functioning, or there is no way Harry'd be back there after OotP. 

Meri - who really doesn't think that LV would make the same mistake 
twice, especially since there are so many new ones he can make...
