snips an interesting theory about the Dursleys and magic


I, too, think that there must be a very good reason why Ddore forces 
Harry to stay with the Dursleys. But I doubt they are his Secret 
Keepers. I don't think a secret keeper can live in the same place as 
the person whose location he or she is guarding. If that was possible 
James and Lily could have been their mutual secret keepers and they 
wouldn't have to bother with whom of their friends to burden with 
that task. Besides, doesn't a secret keeper have to be a wizard?

If there is anyone involved in protecting Harry during the summer,  
it would be Mrs Figg as it was pointed out multiple times on this 
list.
