And me:

I had two different thoughts on this as well - it could be the end of the day and everyone else has gone iside - all the neighbours, etc, or it could be one of those really sunny, warm afternoons when no one really wants to stay outside (even though we grumble about winters).  But in both cases my thoughts went to neighbours, not anyone else.  However it is definitely written in such a manner to make one believe that he (whoever HE is) was not outside by himself for very long.  Maybe it is Harry and he had just received another lecture from Aunt Petunia about not helping out enough and what he should be doing at that precise momennt - which was NOT to be lying in the flowerbed and possible enjoying himself!
