I think I know just how and when that dragon blood protection came
into effect for Harry – and who was behind it!"
<SNIP>
"Dumbledore, mightily relieved that Harry had survived the attack,
decided to do anything & everything he could to FURTHER protect
Harry, because he believed Voldemort to not truly be dead. He had
Hagrid pick up Harry from the wreckage and take him to Snape, who
applied the ointment. The ointment needed several hours to sink into
the blood stream and to become activated there. Once that had
happened, Hagrid flew with baby Harry to meet DD at the Dursleys."
<SNIP>
"AND it explains so much!" says SSSusan. "Why Hagrid defends Snape
to the Trio all the time. Why DD trusts Snape. What the missing 24
hours was about. Maybe why Snape is so hateful to Harry. Harry,
after all, has NO IDEA what Snape's already done for him, and Snape
receives no credit for his efforts. It *might* even explain why
Harry was able to hold out against Voldy in the graveyard, mightn't
it? The extra protection? Harry's dragon-like ability to hold out
against powerful spells? I tell you, DRIBBLE: SHADOWS suits me just
fine."

Please forgive me for replying out of TBAY. I love it, but I don't
think I will ever master how to write it well enough for my liking

I like it and I can buy the assumption that ointment was made from
dragon blood and applied during those missing 24 hours. I am just not
sure whether this is the reason Dumbledore trusts Snape, or at least
the only reason.

I absolutely agree though that it can explain perfectly why Hagrid
defends Snape to the Trio.

Here is my question, if this theory will turn out to be correct? Do
you think Voldemort knows or at least suspects about this particular
protection? Do you think he knows that eyes are Harry's Achilles Heel
for that specific reason?

Do you think he knows how to fight Dragon Blood protection? Could it
be broken at one point in the books? If it is in Harry's blood
permanently though, I guess it truly works as Achilles heel - all
parts of Harry's body are protected except his eyes.

Alla.
