Goddlefrood:

As I say it's a work in progress, but the above pre-empts it 
in no way at all.

To lose one theory would be unfortunate, to lose two looks 
like carelessness.

The blood protection on Harry ends at 17 so I see no reason 
why anyone else has to die to protect Harry for that purpose. 
Others will undoubtedly die, but not to install any further 
protections. I'd suggest Harry would be able to take advantage 
of DD's knowledge of blood protection, but not to hide himself.

Voldemort's no fool, but he's not familiar with many of DD's 
magic tricks, as DD himself told Tom when he applied for the 
DADA job. LV underestimates certain brands of magic and the 
love based ones will, in my divination, be one of them. That, 
again, is on the list to write up, but I've no idea when it 
will appear. Before DH anyway is all I'll commit to.

Goddlefrood lamenting DD almost as much as Fawkes did, but 
feeling better for the song.
