:Strange.  Didn't LV touch Harry in the graveyard at the end of GOF just to prove he could?
Does this mean Harry is no longer protected at Dursley's inspite of what Dumbledore says?"

DuffyPoo:
No, it is a different protection.  LV got past the Lily's sacrifice protection by using HP's blood in his rebirthing potion.  That initial sacrificial protection is gone.  There is, however, still DD's charm placed upon HP and Petunia and sealed when Petunia agreed to take HP into her home.  This is a blood protection as well, but different, IMO.  It protects HP by the connection of Petunia having the same blood in her veins as Lily and thus HP.  Harry is still protected at four Privet Drive as long as he can call that residence home (or, I presume, anywhere else the Dursley's may move).  JMO.
