It states in book one when Harry is thinking about going to secondary
school that it would be "the first time in his life, he wouldn't be
with Dudley." So all through school, he *has* been with blood relations,
just not those of legal adult status.

As for the accidental use of magic by Harry... Well, it is a bit of a
puzzlement, but somehow I was under the impression that all magically
inclined children had a tendency to inadvertently unleash their powers
during moments of being fairly rumpled up in spirit (ie, being chased
by Dudley and the gang, being forced into that hideous old sweater of
Dudley's, etc). Therefore the MoM must be aware of these moments and
reacts accordingly.
