Me, too.  I also think that this means that, while Harry is safe from 
Voldemort at 4 Privet Drive, the Dursleys may still very well be in 
danger. So, after the Dementor attack, it is not only necessary to 
remover Harry from that area for his own safety, it may also be 
necessary to provide additional protection for the Dursleys to get 
Harry out of there.

Which leads to another question. How will Harry feel if, while he can 
live in the relative safety of 12 Grimmauld Place, the Dursleys are 
left out as Dementor/DE bait in Book 6? Will Harry feel the need to 
protect them? For that matter, if Harry himself needs additional 
protection during the summer holidays, how happy will he be to go 
back to Sirius' old house?
