When Harry comes back from Kings Cross and Hagrid puts him down, chaos breaks out and Harry puts on his invisibilty cloak.  From under the cloak he is hexing people right and left and sends several Shield Charms up between his friends and Voldemort (the text specifically
says Voldemort on pg 733-734 and 737 US edition). So *of course* Voldemort couldn't curse anyone.  Then later Harry tells Voldemort that his curses aren't sticking because he, Harry, made a sacrifice.  So did this protection just occur to Harry at that point or did he just say
that to tick off Voldemort?  Or was he throwing out shield charms "just in case?"
