Those are Dumbledore's specific words "where your mother's blood". 
Harry's protection is in his very blood - also Dumbledore's own words. 
This is why Quirrell could not touch him without burning his flesh.

Whirledgirl:

It does seem like a farfetched theory by most standards, not least 
because it would seem out of the blue. But then, that wouldn't be the 
first time.

If DD says "where your mother's blood" dwells, could we suppose a vial 
of her blood at all? anything along those lines? or if we take 
Harry's "mother's blood" to actually mean Harry himself? Could this 
work? 

If by "mother's bloody" DD means Harry, then the sentence would mean 
something along the lines of: 'where Harry dwells'. The whole idea of 
seeking/obtaining protection because of *blood* seems anomalous to how 
JKR has portrayed the importance of blood ties.

Whirledgirl, wondering if DD read his horoscope.
