Malfoys hate anyone they perceive to be their inferior, that certainly
included giants and werewolves. They are allies with them because they
(the nasty V and the DE's) believe they can manipulate them to thier
own ends. It's also very, although falsely, reassuring to minimizes
those and degrade those who you are secretly afraid of.

The taxis did not come to the Burrow (I'm pretty sure), they walked
into town and called the taxi-cabs from the town Post Office (or
something). Although, Mr. Weasley did drive his car out of the Burrow
and to London. So, my personal vote is for the Burrow to be in muggle
space with Apathy charms or something similar that make the muggles
ignore it. Remember when they practiced Quidditch at the paddock in
the grove of trees near the Burrow; they had to be careful not to fly
above the treetops of the muggles would see them.

-- bboy_mn adds: --
I downloaded the name list images, and increased the contrast and
sharpened them. The (my) photos as photos don't look that good, but
the writing is sharper. If the moderator feel that these additional
photos don't really help or add anything, my heart won't be broked if
they decide to delete them.

Added some other unrelated images too.

-- bboy_mn responds: --
Buy you snipped out the part where I said "I think Mrs. Figg is going
to be the obvious, an old witch who lived near Harry to keep an eye on
him". So I agree with the obvious assessment that Mrs. 'Cabbage/Cat
Smell' Figg is Arabella Figg and that she is significant. I was just
saying the the Arabella/young/polyjuice/secret_love/ Figg was
stretching the imagination a little too far. It was a fun thought though.
