Then I realized that Mr. Weasley did all sorts of magic there in GoF (blasting out of the fire place, shrinking Dudley's tongue back).  There is really no difference between the amount of harm Dobby's pudding-smashing and Mr. Weasley's wall-blasting might/could do to Harry.  Both have the potential to get him into serious caca with the Durselys and etc.  Therefore, I fall back to my previous theory of intent, which I discussed in an earlier message.

Which doesn't mean that my theory doesn't aply; Although it's 
altoghether possible that most wizards can opperate magic in the safe 
zonesince, let's be honest, we've got absolutely no idea of how it's 
suppose to work. Maybe you just cannot apparate (which would not be the 
same as floo-ing), and they relay in the powerful DADA teacher Mrs. 
Figg to counter any other intrussion. Or maybe not, this was just off 
the top of my head. Whatever the crcunstances, I still believe that 
there is very little any human wizard can do to stop a determined elf 
from meddling if he had been ordered to.

You mean, someone is using MY traditional goodbye phrase without my 
knowing? 

/Grey Wolf hurries to check the search feature/ 

It does seems to be catching, doesn't it? I know it doesn't always 
aply, but it's a short sort of signature (my regular one is far too 
long to write it every time in web-view, and I've grown accustomed to 
using this little one in HP4GU)

Anyway, hope that helps ;-)
