No that's a good point, I agree, however before HBP, I was half
convinced of some very credible arguments against the necessity to put
Harry at the Dursleys, in light of their horrible treatment of him. I
never felt all that passionately about it, so I probably can't
recreate them personally, I even argued well against them, but I still
recall that I was agreeable to many points that were made such as
after some time the DE's were all locked up, as why didn't Dumbledore
find other protection then etc I don't forget a good argument,
although I often forget the details and since HBP I have reveiwed
those things and wondered if there *is* actually another very specific
reason why DD put Harry at the Dursleys instead of hiding him in the WW.

In any case nevermind, I have a backup question. :D

If this protection is only intended as an external defense to guard
against Voldemort and his DE's doing harm to Harry, then why is Draco
able to jinx him on the train, why can one of the DE's perform Crucio
on him in Flight of the Prince, and Why! does DD want him to go back
there for three more years after Voldemort has managed to steal his
blood and Bypass the protection?
