"It is quite possible that the Weasley's knew how and where to find 
Harry because Dumbledore allowed them to find Harry.  We all know, 
especially from the end of GoF, that Dumbledore trusts the Weasley's, 
so it would make sense that he would send them to "rescue" Harry from 
Privet Drive."

--Ah...no. Maybe I'm confused, but I'm going to assume you're talking 
about CoS first and foremost. I don't understand why you'd think that 
Dumbledore sent them on in an illegal enchanted car to steal him 
apparently without permission. Though with Dumbledore I suppose it 
*is* possible. Hmmm...

Why is it that people assume that no one know where Harry stays in 
the summer months. The Weasleys obviously know though since Harry 
told them, and the same for Hermione, maybe not the exact location at 
first. Voldy knows too.

It might not have been in the Daily Prophet with a map when Dumbly 
first put Harry on the doorstep, but I see no reason to think that 
people couldn't find out if they wished to do so. I also see the 
flipside which that Harry's home could have been swamped with 
grateful wizards all trying to get a look at "The-Boy-Who-Lived" in 
his infancy.

Hmmm
