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.

Tonks:
I see no contradiction. There is love and there is LOVE.  Lily's was 
the greater and gave a protection in Harry's blood that Sirius' love 
could not do.
