Alla:

I am really hesitant to speak for a_svirn, but I believe that the 
point she is making is that if Harry is just as vulnerable outdoors, 
while living at Privet Drive, then it really does not matter where he 
is living. So, of course he would not be spending all his time 
indoors if protected by somebody else, but maybe those other people 
would be better choice as somebody who cares for Harry.

But again, I am not as hesitant as a_svirn seems to be accept the 
blood protection if I see that it actually works.

Alla:

No, actually, I am not sure if anything in canon contradicts the 
premise that DE indeed could touch Harry there ( although of course I 
can forget something). Voldemort says that he could not touch Harry 
there, not his DE.

So, theoretically all that he had to do is to send somebody else 
there, no?

Ooooo, that would actually dissolve lots of my doubts, if you could 
refer me to the quote that says that blood protection is the **only** 
mean by which Harry could be protected. But I don't need the 
reference which says that blood protection can protect Harry, only 
that **only**blood protection can, and nothing else cannot.

Thanks,
