I know what he said. It was the night of his great show, his 
homecoming and he was spinning his tale the way he wanted. The fact 
is, however, that Harry did not stay indoors all the time for the 
first ten years. He attended school; he played in the yard and so 
on. In other words, he wasn't completely protected. As for 
Voldemort, having lost all his powers, except one, he couldn't have 
caused any harm to Harry even if wasn't protected. To cause harm 
Voldemort needed to obtain a body first. As soon as he did, he 
caused harm.
