Also, the murder of Cedric was done my Wormtail, and that spell was 
also regurgitated.

I really think Hagrid took Harry to Dumbledore. I don't mean that 
HAGRID had been instrumental in creating the charms etc. that protect 
Harry even now. Hagrid would have turned Harry over to Dumbledore and 
his team (maybe other teachers from Hogwarts) and then waited around, 
maybe standing guard. Now that I say that, it would seem logical that 
they would have taken Harry to Hogwarts for this, since it's the 
safest place (even safer than Gringotts!). 

I think the Order of the Pheonix is the old crowd, a group of those 
who most steadfastly fought against Voldemort, which included James 
and Lily as well as Lupin, Arabella Figg, etc. James and Lily were 
working as part of that group and in their capacity in the Ministry 
of Magic to create the final defense. When they died, it fell to the 
rest of the group to try to finish their work, which meant protecting 
Harry.
