It is interesting to me that JKR has chosen this contradiction.  She 
spends six books with DD telling everyone who will listen that love is 
the strongest magic, nothing is more powerful than love.  However she 
puts Harry in the safest place magically, the Dursleys.  A place 
without love and only blood protection.  Voldemort states he knows 
nothing of Love magic in Book 6.  This should have been another 
advantage.  JKR comes close to negating one of the themes of the series 
for the reader who notices.  Love was not strong enough to protect 
Harry or he would have been placed with Sirius or Hagrid or a host of 
other people.  Nope, love did not carry the day.  The magic DD sneered 
at in Voldemort's cave, blood magic, is what worked best.  I wonder if 
JKR has noticed this contradiction.
