I have to agree here. I don't think the blood protection is there. However, I do believe that with his death it may have created a stronger protection in a different form. It goes to the sacrificing DD's life for Harrys.

Cyril here:

DD did not sacrifice his life for Harry. Infact, DD did not sacrifice his life with direct impact of saving anyone else.
When DD was murdered by Snape, he was not directly coming in the way of Snape to kill anyone else.
True, the outcome was because he was trying to save the lives of Snape and Draco, but his action of dying was not a direct input to saving their lives. At best his not dying would have indirectly threatened Snape's live due to the UV, but again that is not the outcome of any direct action by DD, just lack of it.
Lily's sacrifice which was a direct action, because she actively came in the way of LV killing Harry.
While there are probably magical effects of DD's death, it is not apparent that this is in anyway a direct sacrifice to save anyone.

I am not sure what part Aberfoth (sp?) will play or what he will bring, but it is definately a possibility. I think that everything Harry needs is within his immediate grasp though. 
I am a firm believer that what he needs most is what was transferred to him from LV. I think that once he has the horcrux situation taken care of, it will be a matter of digging deep in himself for the knowledge of what to do next.


Cyril here:

While the powers transferred by LV to HP are important in his fight to overcome LV, I do not believe that they will be the critical ones. The wording of the prophecy, IIRC, is that "he will have power that the Dark Lord knows not" or something like that.
The way I interpret this is two-fold:
a) Harry has some powers, and LV does not know that he has those powers
b) Harry has powers which LV does not know of - that is he does not have knowledge of the powers itself.

It is the second interpretation that I feel is more relevant - because it was the power of Love that saved Harry, and it is this power that LV "knows not". Even DD repeatedly says that it is Love that will enable Harry to defeat LV, not other powers.

Just my thoughts.

Cyril, still wondering how JKR is going to use Harry Love to defeat LV, but sure that it is this power that will be the critical one.
