But is that true Catherine? We know Dumbledore's protection at the
Dursley's ends when Harry turns 17. But Dumbledore based that
protection on the 'blood' protection Harry already had. That initial
protection came from Lily's sacrifice, and that is the protection
Voldemort was trying to overcome by using Harry's blood to regain a
body for himself. 

Yes, Voldemort can touch Harry now, but after these events, Dumbledore
says that this protection from Lily is still in Harry. Implying that
one small aspect of Lily's protection has been overcome, but that the
protection itself still remains. 

So, where does that leave us? I don't think there ever can or ever
will be an end to Lily's protection. She is, in a sense, Harry's
guardian angle, always watching over him. I think Dumbledore's gleam
and the great significance of using Harry's blood is related to Lily's
protection, and I don't think it works against Harry.

Voldemort thinks he has overcome the protection, but more likely he
has actually re-enforced it. But exactly how it has been re-enforced
and how it will manifest itself is unclear. 

As I said in another post, it is going to be wonderful to see all
these aspects of the story finally come together. 

Just a few thoughts, which probably would have been better but my
coffee is wearing off and my brain is getting groggy.
