than no, I don't think there would be a bond because Harrys' blood 
was forcebly taken.  I understand what DD said as meaning if someone 
voluntarily saves another's life, then that witch or wizard owes a 
life debt to the one who saved them.

Tonks here:

No. I mean at GH. We know that there is some bond between Harry and 
LV that happened that night. Is this because of some life debt 
somewhere in the past or at that moment??
