Lights (was More on Figg's protection)

By the way before I start, this is my first post(and I'm far too 
excited by that prospect). I've been trawling through some of the 
recent threads, and this is one that has particularly caught my eye.

Arabella's protection spilled over to the tent?

more likely that the tent came with some pre-fabricated sort of decor 
which is available to witches and wizards in an off-the-shelf manner 
(perhaps in a catalogue).

I love this Idea! I wonder what it would be called? Sorry, is that 
off topic?

I really do almost agree with Melody here. Except that I like the 
lights idea that someone came up with on friday. I think that, 
although it was a powerful way to set the scene as magical, what 
Dumbledore did with the lights in privet drive was far too long 
winded (surely a simple incantation would have been enough)to simply 
be about turning the lights out for privacy purposes, and even seemed 
ritualistic as if it could be a spell. That's my two penneth worth 
anyway.
