Case for HP blabbing and running away

No: HPFGUIDX 74874

This won't be a thorough as I meant it to be, since I have to do some 
work today.

First, the sterling example of Fred and George, with the added 
strength of their business contact with him. They've "got style" and 
they could be a rather useful extra-school contact.

HP wants "OUT." (The door at Dumbledore representing the school 
itself - Dumbledore won't let him leave.)

HP *felt* like a pawn at the beginning of OOP. At the end of the 
book, he *knows* he has been, and is, a chesspiece. 

HP thought he was a weapon at one point, and wanted to run away, to 
protect his friends, and was relieved to think otherwise just a page 
or two later. At the end of the book, he knows he is a weapon, as it 
were. Both for Voldemort and for Dumbledore, as it were. (Death of 
Sirius, retrieval of prophecy for DE, Dumbledore's abstemiousness 
with truth, ostensibly for HP's own good.) 

The sit down by the lake until dark signals acceptance of his finally 
understood role.

The presence of OOP members at the end, talking to the Dursleys, only 
hardens this sense of his being a chesspiece. Will he want to live in 
a place that is livable only because OOP enforces it?

Keeping the prophecy secret was not particularly constructive, aside 
from forcing LV to reveal himself.

Thematically now -

As choosing not to talk about Umbridge's torture signalled his taking 
the stigma as his own, steeling his resistance and sharpening his 
defiance, so taking his role (fate, as it were) to himself would 
signal an owned, chosen Potterhood. He will speak the prophecy, or 
think it, to LV. This in conjunction with running away.

Questions -

How will he run away? Is he under house arrest? Any OOP members could 
be tricked, some more easily than others, possibly.

Where could he run to?

A cave?
Fred and George?
Sweden?

If you've any ideas where he could run to, please post them.
