I don't think this has been mentioned yet and if it
has I'm sorry to bring it back up. That being said,
what I am actually puzzeled about is the shock that
Vernon receives after he grabs Harry in the first
chapter. The "crack" that is heard prior to thisscene
is later revealed to be Mundungus apparating to pursue
his
business opportunities. The cat of course, bolts to
warnMs. Figg leaving Harry completely alone. After
Vernon grabs a hold of Harry, he is shocked by some
force and I believe Harry later says that he thought a
wizard was there with him. How could a wizard of
shocked Vernon if Mundungus, the only one on duty, was
already gone?
Was that Harry's anger being released? Harry did not
use his wand or mutter any spells. Maybe it was just a
reaction to protecthimself like the time his hair
regrew or his jumping amazing heights when he was 
chased by Dudley's gang (before his Hogwarts years).
Perhaps I misinterpreted it. Any ideas?

Me (Vinnia):
You could be right, it might be Harry's anger. 
Another idea: it was Voldemort. If the connection is
two ways, and if Harry can feel Voldemort's anger,
then Voldemort may be able to feel the headache. The
surge of power could be Voldemort's instant reaction,
and it somehow was transfered to Harry.

Beth :
My initial thought was that the shock that Uncle 
Vernon receives is an illustration of Dumbledore's
Ancient Magic that protects Harry at 
Privet Drive

Me (Vinnia):

That's also a possibility.

Beth:
I also think that the wizard's presence 
that Harry detected was the ever-watchful eye of
Dumbledore.  
I think he sees far more than we realize.  

Me (Vinnia):
I don't think so. Dumbledore did not know what's
happening in Privet Drive. Had he been watching Harry,
then he would do something about the dementor, perhaps
apparate straight away to magnolia crescent or send
someone.
