Carol:

The question of whether other agents of evil such as Dementors can
harm him there isn't really answered in canon, but I think that the
protection extends to them as well--even possibly to the Dursleys
themselves since Mr. Dursley received an electrical shock when he
tried to choke Harry. (That could be the original blood protection, of
course, but why would one blood protection apply only to Voldemort and
his agents and the other to anyone who tries to harm Harry when
they're both based on Lily's sacrifice?)

Carol, who thinks that Harry should spend the whole month of July
(until his birthday) at the Dursleys' to make the most of that small
bit of remaining protection

Lynda:

Oh, I think that the protection extends to others at #4 Privet Drive.  As
far as in the surrounding area, we don't know for certain, although the
dementors seemed to be doing a pretty decent job of making a success of
causing harm until Harry turned his patronus on them.  More to Dudley than
to Harry, though.
