Beginning of OotP (a different track)

It could well be possible that the beginning of OOP will be 
completely uneventful.

"The hottest day of the summer so far was drawing to a close and a 
drowsy silence lay over the large, square houses of Privet Drive.... 
The only person left outside was a teenage boy who was lying flat on 
his back in a flowerbed outside number four."

Although several other inferences can be made about this extract, 
taken from the book one that immediately comes to mind is that the 
Dursleys may have purchased that holiday home in Majorca and may be 
there.  It is possible that they have given Harry restricted access 
to their home on Privet Drive and Harry's taking full advantage of 
their absence by "lying flat on his back in a flowerbed on Privet 
Drive", looking up at the sky, thanking the stars that he is away 
from the Dursleys.

Even so, I'll bet that they'll have Mrs. Figg checking up on him 
from time to time - to make sure that he leaves everything 
untouched... 

Because LV has been resurrected, ao to speak, it is possible that 
Dumbledore will leave no stone unturned when it comes to seeing that 
Harry gets the maximum protection, that Dumbledore, can give him, 
Harry, while he is at Privet Drive, over the summer.  It is possible 
that Dumbledore might send the real 'Mad Eye' Moody to Mrs. Figgs 
for a little more protection - just in case LV and his cronies tried 
their tricks (although, in my mind, it is doubtful that he will do 
so this quickly). Thus, Harry could well meet Mad Eye Moody over the 
summer. 

I also feel that Sirius will go over to Lupin's place and will stay 
at his place over the summer - I don't think that there is any 
better place to hide, do you ? After all, who on earth would want to 
visit a werewolf? I imagine Remus must lead a very lonely life 
because he suffers from Lycantrophy!

Remus could well be sent off to Mrs. Figgs place to help round up 
the other members of the Order Of The Phoenix.  The smell of cabbage 
suggests that Mrs. Figg is an extremely good Portions brewer and 
would be very helpful in concocting the Portion that Remus needs in 
order to transform him into a tame werewolf.

This, of course, is only a theory and it is possible that I am 
totally on the wrong track ...
