I have a theory on this- we all know that the Dursleys <Hate> magic and
are hypersensitive about it's use around them. Perhaps this quality has
beeen enhanced or tuned magically, so that this emotional energy actually
repels V. and his minions in some way.

Yes, there are holes in this theory, (Go ahead and pick them apart- that's
what this is for!) But it would explain why the Ministy Knew immediately
when magic occured in the Dursley household. They and their entire house
have been turened into a hypersensitive magic detection system.

Another theory I've played with, but cannot offer any solid evidence for,
is that somehow, the Dursley's hostility is magically converted into
protection from V. The nastier they get, the better Harry is protected.

Any thoughts?
