Lilygale here: There is canon suggesting that some type of blood
protection will last past Harry's 17th birthday.
"[Voldemort] didn't realize that love as powerful as your mother's
for you leaves it's own mark. Not a scar, no visible sign...to have
been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone.
will give us some protection *forever*." (SS Scholastic ed pg 299,
my emphasis on forever).

Don't know what it might be, but I would bet it has something to do
with that gleam in Dumbledore's eye. I don't think that one has
played out yet.

=======================================

Jeremiah:

I recall an interview where JKR talked about the issue with Blood. Harry's
blood, his mother's blood, pure-blood, half-blood... maybe it was on her
website.

DD mentions an ancient magic protecting Harry based on his mother's
sacrifice. LV mentiones the same issue in GoF. That is why LV cannot touch
him... however, LV made a huge leap forward by using Harry's blood to
resurect his body and now that LV can touch Harry I don't see why there is a
big show put on about Harry staying at the Dursleys unless there is some
other protection placed on the house besides the "blood" connection. I'm
sure Arabella Figg isn't going to take down a hoard of Death Eaters with her
cans of cat-food, or the cat's themselves... lol... "Get him mister
Tibbles!" ok....


Alla, Rowling has expressed that Quirrelll could not touch Harry due to
Lily's love and, as I understand it, it is through her blood/Harry's blood
that it is passed. And... that's all I've got as far as cannon when it comes
to tangible proof...

Dumbledore's gleaming eye... well, that's what has been creeping me out for
the last few years. His eyes went dull when he left Harry at the Dursley's
and then the gleamed then Harry told him about LV using Harry's blood. Why
the Gleam? WHYYY!! I'll ahve to think about it but I have suspicions that
using Harry's blood would mean that LV and Harry, now being able to touch
eachother, can now actually kill one another and that was a huge hurdle.
Also, if Harry's blood carried Lily's love and sacrifice it will be a weapon
against LV as that love slowly creeps around within him. Possibly weakening
LV and slowly eating away at him... Harry's blood, in some way, made LV's
body possible and that is a very risky thing to do.

I agree that in the final book we will see how this comes into play and I'm
sure that even though JKR has said there aren't any more secrets as of HBP
there will be twists and turns as the story plays out. Small points that are
suddeny bigger players that we have thought.
