Hi Guys and Gals, I'm new here.

I'm not sure Lily's protection is still around other than the blood
protection Dumbledore added through Petunia. It's in Harry's blood and
in Petunia's and it probably protects her from Voldy also.

But there doesn't seem to be anything stopping Voldy from attacking
Harry in GoF. Both the diary revenant Tom in CoS and Voldy in GoF seem
to know that Harry has no protection because he has no mother to die
for him anymore. And Voldy throws a couple-three spells at Harry that
connect just fine. If one had been the AK would it have rebounded? I
don't think so but who knows?

I'm with Alla here. The protection DD added seems only to work when in
Petunia's company (all the time until he's 11 and over the summer
after that) and only against Voldy. There isn't any 'wizard-repelling
charm' on #4 Privet unless DD removed it prior to Arthur Flooing in
GoF and all those OotPs showing up in OotP (not likely). There really
doesn't seem to be anything preventing any wizard approaching Harry
any time they like. I for one would really like to know what
the "ancient magic" that DD invoked actually does? IMO it only
protects Harry from Voldy, and only while in the care of Petunia.

Sidelight: Since Dudley has his mother's blood and hence Lily's isn't
it ironic that Harry is also protected in Dudley's companionship? I
find this oxymoronic condition highly amusing!
