I agree with you Risiti and I would like to expand :

I posted a theory as to how book 5 started a while back and nobody 
replied but now it looks as if someone was thinking the same way.  
Every summer it seems like Harry relaxes until schhol starts. But 
after LV let Harry slip through his fingers at the end of Gof and 
Lucius Malfoy, Mr Crabbe, and Mr Goyle having their precious sons 
coming home looking like a monster from a bad 50's Japanese monster 
movie from the mix of curses on the train I don't think they are 
going to sit back and let Harry have a nice relaxing summer.

There canon passages on how the DEs and LV liked to torture muggles 
in the past were better to start up again than on parents of Hogwarts 
kids they have a beef on.  They can go to the Dursley's (maybe the 
ancient Magic protects the children but not the parents) torture the 
parents and that's how Dudley gets to be the one with the late start 
to the Magical career.  Also this would be a time where that often 
discussed Underage Magic outside Hogwarts plot device might come into 
play.  Would Harry actually be afraid to defend the Dursleys because 
of not returning to Hogwarts?  Harry would have to send a owl to Ron 
immediately to find a way to his house, but what would stop the 
Weasleys from being attacked?   Fred, George and Ron were a part of 
the hex attack too, so maybe they'd have to find a way to contact 
Dumbledore (but he'd know anyways, right?)

The DEs could the go to Hermione's house and kidnap her after 
torturing her muggle parents.  Commments have been made on this list 
that Crookshanks has not gotten a chance to use his skills to lead 
his master home yet.

Then they could go on and on wreaking havoc at the Creevey household 
and any other Muggle family household terrifying the Hogwarts 
children and making them terrified to return back to Hogwarts.

It certainly would be a different beginning to OotP.  I'm ready for a 
little break with something different.  But truthfully,  right now 
I'll be deliriously happy with the "same ole same ole" (97 days isn't 
it?)  Kary
