I'm not saying you couldn't be right here. After all it is just a theory and
theories are all correct until proven otherwise.
I just wanted to point out that in CoS Harry was sent a warning for underage
magic because of something Dobby did. The MM just detected the use of a
Hover Charm in the place where he lived and assumed it was Harry.
Unless intelligence has gotten better one would think he would again recieve
a similar warning even if Marge did do it herself. He did leave in a hurry
though so no telling. One also wonders if it was Harry that flung open the
door to the cupboard under the stairs or was someone helping him escape?
