"Have the following questions ever been answered satisfactorily?
1. If Voldmeort has overcome Lily's protection by using Harry's 
blood, how can Privet Drive still offer Harry protection?"

CH3ed:
Perhaps there are more than one protections? The protection on Harry 
himself (which LV overcame by being reborn out of Harry's blood), 
and the protection of the place where Lily's sister lives (Dursleys' 
house), which remains intact until Harry comes of age (or aunt 
Petunia is assassinated?).

Brothergib:
"2. If the Dementors can attack Harry as soon as he steps outside of 
the Dursley's house, is this protection of any use?
Surely any of Voldemort's followers could have turned up and 
destroyed Harry whenever he went out/to school etc etc! A squib 
bodyguard does not seem enough extra protection."


CH3ed:
Since LV returned DD had put OotP wizards to guard Harry at the 
Dursleys' (Dung was the wizard on duty when the dementors attacked. 
Yeah, Dung doesn't seem like a competent guard to me too. :o)). 
Figgy was just a look out, I think. Thinking of that I'm still 
wondering why the tent the Weasleys used during Quidditch World Cup 
resembles Figg's house interior? Down to the rotten cabbage smell.


Brothergib:
"3. Hagrid pulled Harry out of the rubble of Godric's Hollow. From 
their discussion at the beginning of PS/SS it appears that DD was 
not at Godric's hollow. Let's presume that DD would not have left 
Harry to sit in a pile of rubble for any length of time. Therefore, 
precisely how does DD know that Lily died to protect Harry?"

CH3ed:
I'm guessing that there was a portrait or two at the Potters' hiding 
place in GH that had a copy in DD's office.  

CH3ed wishing our American members a very delicious turkey and a 
Happy Thanksgiving.  :O)
