Karen answers:
That is definitely a different spin on the protection scenario; LV 
receives a "love bug virus" from Harry, thus keeping him (Harry) 
safe because of a change of heart that LV has?  Am I correct in 
my synopsis? (I would like to hear more about this theory) I was 
thinking more along lines that LV taking Harry's blood and using 
it to return to the land of the living, somehow increased Harry's 
blood protection within himself, thus decreasing the amount of 
time he needed to spend at Privet Drive.   I hadn't thought how 
Harry 's blood running in LV's veins would protect Harry, but it's 
an interesting idea.

I'm not sure about TMR and LV being separate entities, though.  You 
can't have one without the other.  Remember when TMR was coming back 
through the diary in CoS? He said something about LV coming back when 
he regained a body, that is because they are one in the same. Changing 
one's name does not change who they are. If TMR dies so does LV. As 
far as rescuing "Trixie", maybe that was more of a self preservation 
thing, she appears to be one of his strongest supporters and apparently 
a very powerful witch.  If he lost her, it would be a terrible loss to 
him. She may be the only one he trusts and to lose her would have be 
detrimental to his "cause".
