deathtocapslockMy sincere apologies if this has been addressed before, but I haven't found anything on it yet.
We are told that Harry survives the Killing Curse from Voldemort because Voldemort is now a "blood relative" and Harry can't be harmed in the presence of his "blood relatives." But at that point, hasn't the "blood protection" spell already ended, since Harry is now 17 and no longer lives with the Dursleys? Have I missed something?

Especially since it had no payoff - before DH I read a theory that having pure love running through his veins would mean Voldemort had become capable of remorse and would surrender himself to justice or commit suicide by Chosen One. As it was, pure sacrificial protective love is just a bigger weapon.
