I agree with Dave. EVERYONE knows where Harry is, and I very much 
doubt that should Voldemort creep up on Number 4 and stick his nose 
up against the Dursleys' window, that he wouldn't be able to see 
Harry.

My guess is that Harry is protected by something we haven't heard 
about yet. There's been a lot of "ancient magic" at work in Harry's 
favor so far -- with the Dursleys, and with Lily as well, I believe. 
I think the "ancient magic" has mostly to do with familial love (or 
possibly just familial connections, as I doubt we can say that the 
Dursleys love Harry at all).
