You know - since Harry's right-handed, this is likely a mirror-image 
(which would explain all the candles, floating on doors, particularly 
if there's something else reflective in that room). And I think that 
spinning breeze might have been caused by Harry doing such magic/the 
room spins. The streaks are the artist's way to express movement, 
speed would make Harry's hand and wand unclear...

Still, maybe it's not the *room* spinning, maybe it's the candles 
that move?

And er.. maybe Harry *will* be in St Mungos before going to Hogwarts -
not because of Fudge (and others who read Rita Skeeter's article) 
consider him insane, but because he's physically harmed. Say, he lost 
his consiousness and fell into Petunia's flowerbed; Mrs Figg takes 
him into St Mungos (Dursleys have left Harry out to weed the garden 
(and locked the doors) while going for swimming themselves...?)

I find it doubtful that Harry'll end up in St Mungos in mid-year, 
Madam Pomfrey is able enough a mediwitch herself.
