Now this is a fantastic idea. I do like it, I do!! I posed the  
question here once regarding the use of the blood of one that you 
had  murdered. LV has his victim's blood in his body. I really wonder 
if that  doesn't have some bearing on all of this. Lily's blood, the 
blood of the  pure sacrificed one now gives life to LV. There has got 
to be something in  this somehow. But I am at a lost... ?? It must 
be tied to the blood  protection that is saving Harry, but how??? 
Maybe factored into the life  debit somehow??

Nikkalmati:
Well, the simple answer is that having Harry's blood in him will prevent LV  
from harming Harry.  Someone earlier (sorry I don't recall who made this  
observation) pointed out that the Dursleys cannot harm Harry.  If I recall  the 
examples were that Vernon tried to choke Harry and Petunia threw something  at 
him, both without effect.  Therefore, some part of DD's protection kept  Harry 
from being hurt by his blood relatives.  LV may now come into this  category. 
(Yes, I know Dudders has beaten Harry up at some time.  Maybe he  is an 
exception because he is a child or the harm wasn't great enough.   And, yes, we have 
to make a special case for Uncle Vernon because he is not a  "blood" 
relative, but it is a thought).
