I think he'll get by. In PoA Harry was told 'no slip, no trip'; 
however I got the impression that had a madman not been on the loose 
trying to kill Harry this might of been overlooked, and possibly 
even if Harry had managed to get a permission slip from Vernon they 
still might have said no due to safety concerns. I think Harry'll 
get by just fine in 6&7, OoP showed us just how cool McG is (man I 
hate Umbridge!) And in book 7 Harry will be of age and can sign his 
own form.

didn't contain a substantial plot, but loved it all the same)
