I think I'm much more inclined to believe that the
Ministry yelled at Harry for blowing up Aunt Petunia
not because they were keeping a close eye on Harry, or
His house, or have watchers out there at all times,
but because Dobby tipped them off ahead of time.  He
really wanted to keep Harry away from Hogwarts, and
knew that Harry may not like it.  So, as a forward
plan, he warned the MoM, possibly anonymously, that
Harry was up to mischief.  This would explain why they
never sense the sweater, or the hair-regrowing, or
anything else that goes on in the Dursley house before
COS.  And in POA, they find out about Aunt Petunia
only because they are monitoring Harry for information
about Sirius.
