I may not remember this correctly, but weren't the cars sent by the
Ministry because the authorities were worried about Harry's safety
after what happened at the Quidditch World Cup? Harry and the
Weasleys would have been quite vulnerable on a public train, and
perhaps some supporter of Voldemort wanted to show that the Ministry
wasn't as much in control as they would have liked to be.
