I really think you need to re read TPS again. I am sure like me you
have read it half a million times but also like me, you probably have
books that you remember better than others. For instance I can recite
parts of TPS but have to look things up when it comes to TDH. It is
mentioned in TPS that Lily's sacrifice for Harry put a spell on him
in which he as long as he could call a family member's home, his he
was safe. Sirius was his god father, a god father isn't necessarily a
family member and in this case Sirius is a family friend but not a
blood family member. Also at one point Dumbledore says that it is his
mother's blood that keeps him save. The only surviving members with
his mother's blood are his Aunt Petunia and his cousin Dudley.
Dumbledore was well away that he would not be treated right and his
hands were tied, however he had a neighbor of theirs who was a squib
named Mrs. Figg watch over Harry for him.

June:
I don't think it protected Harry in that Voldemort couldn't inflict
bodily injury on him. It had more to do with Harry being a horcrux.
I think Dumbledore was already suspicious that Harry was a horcrux
and knew that Voldemort couldn't properly kill Harry (that if he
tried, it would be that piece of soul that he would kill) because
he took Harry's blood.
