Finwitch:

I'm for the place - or rather, a road. There is a road named Spinners 
End near Bristol - no aposthrophe.

One meaning without the aposthrophe is that Spinners (noun, plural) 
end (verb) - but that sounds too odd to me. (Unless it means no more 
spinners/spiders, in the cup-board under stairs).

It could also be the name for a spider-killing device/poison, but 
what would that have to do with Harry?

So Road/Place - but:

Fred&George? I think they live at upstairs of 93 Diagon Alley now. 
(Above Weasley Wizard Wheezes) But it is plausible. (Particularly 
with apparition!) I see F&G as the ones who'd get Harry out so early -
 as the members of OOP reckon: "Harry Potter is safe there". (Not so 
safe with the Dementors hanging out, was he?)

Of course, Sirius might be back as a phoenix (Dead, but reborn) and 
*take* Harry there... (Wishful thinking, I suppose, but oh well).
