 I wanted to revist this as I just reread GoF and found something I 
 had not remembered. When Volemort speaks to the Death Eaters he 
 explains that Dumbledore "invoked an ancient magic" to protect Harry 
 at the Durlseys to which he also notes "Not even I can touch him 
 there."
 
 Voldemort also explains earlier on that he had not anticipated the 
 ancient magic which protected Harry when his mother sacrificed his 
 life to save him, Harry....
 
 So, it would seem Voldemort isn't up to par in his ancient magic.
 
 THIS would explain why Dumbledore insists Harry return to Privet 
 drive first before travelling on to the Burrow--
i.e. Dumbledore needs time to Voldemort-proof the Burrow.
