Well, I honestly just want to agree with every single word of your 
post, but besides that I am still not sure that protection from Lily 
only works if Harry is calling privet Drive home. I mean, doesn't it 
look to you as blood protection from Petunia ( her sealing the charm 
that Dumbledore put in place by taking Harry in her home) is still 
something different, sort of another layer of protection that we still 
did not see working?

I mean, this is just something that keeps bugging me. Not to 
contradict anything you said by the way. :)
