Hi, the factual information about UK arouse my interests. You know, 
I'm an Asian and not familiar with the Western customs. I wonder what 
most kids will do when they are 16 in UK. Are they legally an adult? 
Can they choose to live away from their parents or guardians? 

At OOP, Vernon wanted to throw Harry out for fear that his family 
would be endangered because of the very existence of Harry. I'm 
wondering, 

1. if Harry is legally an adult at 16, Vernon will demand him to 
leave his house forever. 
2. LV revived, as now the wizarding world have realised, what's the 
point for keeping Harry with Petunia? LV was reborn with the blood of 
Harry, which implied, Harry was no longer protected by his mother's 
blood. Staying with Petunia is not safe for Harry anymore. 

What do you think? The answers to these questions may give us some 
hints for Book 6 (at least the first few chapters).
