Boris the Bewildered:

At the end of OOTP, the members of the Order let Harry
go off with the Dursleys unprotected.  Earlier in the
book, JKR makes a big deal about people watching over
Harry and always having an elaborate guard any time he
goes anywhere - from Privet Drive to Grimmauld Place
and later movements anywhere.  But after warning
Vernon to be nice to Harry, the Order just lets him go
without anyone to protect him.  Is he safe anytime
he's around Petunia (because of that blood charm)?

Julie:

Sturgis Podmore's sentence in Azkaban was up around
the beginning of March (see US p. 287), so they
probably had Moody's spare Invisibility Cloak back (US
p. 370) (the MoM does return those things, don't
they?). Who's to say Dung isn't tailing him again,
invisible?
