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?

And with the original Lily protection, the next time Voldie tried to AK Harry he would have Vaporized again, I think.
