JKR never spends so much time on a scene without it being important.
The thing that I found extremely strange in the 'Advance Guard'
chapter was certain comments made by Order members at the Dursleys. If
JKR wants you to remember something - she repeats it because she means
it, and it usually means something. a few Order members make comments
about how the Dursley's house is "too clean", and "unnaturally clean".
I think that we are getting somewhere with this, but slowly.

Me: Perhaps, they are trying to hide the magic within them.  I still maintain there is something going on with Petunia and if not her Dudley.  But more than likely the cleaning was a result of trying to "squish" Harry's magic out of him. 
 
But I was taken by Tonks words in this chapter when she went to Harry's room.  Now this is more like it...or something like that.  I think what JKR is saying is that Harry is the only in the family that is truly being honest with themselves.  
 
Althoughj, I can't imagine Dudley having a clean room.  
 
And on a really unrelated thing but dealing with something mentioned in this chappy...Tonks referred to her dad as a muggle born..but then said something about well I guess it's just like wizards.  Like how can her dad be both muggle born but not a wizard.  Or was that just a really confusing line, and all she meant was pureblood vs non-pureblood.
