He also tried to harm him ad/or did harm him at Hogwarts, in the 
Forbidden Forest, and in the Ministry of Magic so clearly he is not 
safe outside the "home".  But, now that V. may be learning more and 
more about that old magic and unsavory people like Umbridge can 
easily locate his "home" and send attackers near his home - I wonder 
why Albus does not reconsider his options and get a new game plan?
