SSSusan, Potioncat, Jen and others have been having excellent fun on
the beach in several recent posts: the theory that baby Harry might
have been protected by dragon's-blood ointment is strangely appealing,
but doesn't seem to connect strongly enough to canon.

Behold a convincing codecil!

One of the uses for dragon's blood is as an oven cleaner – right? As
discovered by DD himself. And, who do we know who is obsessive about
cleaning her house? Petunia, that's who! Now, how about DD making a
small and simple magical arrangement such that whenever Petunia buys
oven cleaner, it transmutes in the bottle and acquires a new
ingredient 
 which would renew the protection charm on Harry and 4
Privet Drive at least once a week in perpetuity. (And that stuff
smells so chemical anyway that an extra spot of pong would make no
difference at all.)
