My theor ist that a child is not always showing it's magical powers before
going to Hogwarts. In other ways I think that Harry would have done it much
more often than is implicated in book one and also by showing the
legillimency-scene in book five when Snape saw Harry struggeling with Dudley

Well I think it is a diffrent kind of magic and the ministry can detect that

uncontrolled undangerous kind of pre-tought magic that little children show,
too.
