My take on the Forest scene (also posted on Movie)

this is the part I have most trouble with:
The "love" protection from Lilly protected Harry for 17 years till the day he turned 17 and much intrige and drama happens in the first chapters of DH to get Harry under protection and from the Dursley house before the protection of love ends.
OK so far so good.
Then at the end it is suggested Voldemort fails to kill Harry because of that Lily protection. 
And even more weird because the fact that with his own resurrection he took Harry's blood, so Lilly's protective spell is still residenting in Voldemorts veins?
and still potent? 
If that was the case, Dumbledore knew the fact... he was a sort of pleased, when he heard what happens when Voldemort was resurrected and used it.... then I have to concluded that the whole charade with the 7 Potters was just a smokescreen with deadly consequenses.

it's either this or JKR contradicted her own first law that dead is dead and nobody returns from death, not do dead spels return.
