Annemehr:

It's Harry in the flowerbed.  I came up with two possible reasons for 
this, while vacuuming the living room...

1)It became suddenly neccessary for Harry to have a dream about 
Voldemort, but the hapless kid was *awake*, walking around outside. 
Therefore, his scar just knocked him out and gave him the dream there 
and then.  In this case, Cindy is right -- the fact that he was lying 
face-up *is* a FLINT, but it's because everyone knows that Harry 
sleeps on his stomach.

2)Voldemort believed he had figured out a way to overcome Harry's 
protection at Privet Drive and was nearly right -- Harry has just 
barely survived an attack (nothing like getting right down to 
business, right?).

Verrrry funny, Pip (I don't think...<g>)!  This had *better* be near 
the beginning, or else millions of people are going to head straight 
for the back of the book, looking for it!
