uhuh, about time to postulate a brand new theory.

In the week after Sirius' escape, he had time to communicate 
with Dumbledore. Dumbledore, now knowing Sirius' innocence, 
welcomes him into the fold (order?), and he learns of the magic 
by which Harry is protected. PERHAPS this magic includes 
knowing what is going on while Harry is in the Dursley's care 
(also, Sirius was in Magnolia Crescent th
e night Harry left;
 perhaps he also ove
rheard the bit about the
 permission form?
). 
If Harry is indeed 
watched, it would explain 
a few thiin

cast doubt on other things, like whether or not D. knew about 
Dobby.
