GEO: Really? I for one certainly think it does show that Voldemort 
would get that additional benefit. He says it himself that the 
protection would then reside within his veins.

GEO: And how can you say whether that is possible or impossible? 
It's really Rowling's world and whatever her characters say in terms 
of exposition is probably true. Besides it's magic almost anything 
is possible considering the rules governing it are more murky.

GEO: No thats not what he says. He says he shares in the protection, 
but if the protection was truly nullified then why does Dumbledore 
decide to send him back to Privet Drive and the Dursleys at the 
end of GoF.
