I have to agree. I think it may be something to do with the thing 
Dumbledore does to the street lights when Harry is delivered to the 
Dursleys. I think it keeps the street loyal to Dumbledore or 
something similar, and prevents Voldemort or anyone else who wishes 
harm on Harry from going anywhere near him. I think that he has to 
start the holidays at the Dursleys so that he doesn't bandy about 
the fact that he's spending the summer at the Weasleys for all to 
hear at school? I've thought far too long and hard on this subject, 
as you may be able to tell. Other opinions would be welcome. By the 
way do you all realise that even Ginny would be Twenty years old 
now? Doesn't that feel wierd? We're still thinking of her as having 
her first teenage crush, and she'd be working by now. I feel so old!
