On this secondary aspect, I agree, what saved harry is
not as simple as one thing. It is a complex intermix of
a wide range of things.

I agree, but to an extremely limited extent. Let me
ask you this, if /I/ create a Horcrux, are /you/ 
protected by it? I think not. Voldemort having Harry
blood is similar in its action to a Horcrux. As long
as Harry's protective blood remains on earth, Harry
is protected from death, or at least, is given a choice.

How does or how can that possible protect Voldemort?
It can't. For Voldemort to be protected, someone
somewhere would have to have a few drops of Voldemort's
'protected' blood in them. But first and foremost,
Voldemort's blood doesn't carry the same protection
that is offerred by Lily's sacrifice. Second, even
if Voldemort's blood was magically protected in the
same way as Harry's, no one else is holding Voldemort's
blood in their living body. So, no protection for 
Voldemort. 

However, I do acknowledge a limited degree of 
protection. Notice the both Harry /and/ Voldemort are
found in the limbo of the King's Cross scene. I 
suspect, /IF/ Voldemort had no more Horcruxes
protecting him, Harry could have simply chosen to 
/go on/, and Voldemort would have had no choice
but to follow. Under other circumstances, it would
have been a way to kill Voldemort. However, Voldemort
still has one Horcrux left, so Harry job is unfinished.
He has to go back in order to assure Voldemort's 
final demise. 

So, as I said, to an extremely limited extent, Harry
blood is protecting Voldemort. When Harry choses to
come back, he is also making that same choice for
Voldemort. 

In short, Voldemort having Harry's blood protects
Harry, but no one else. Just like my having a
Horcrux doesn't protect you.
