Harry was there two weeks
'would get rid of him two weeks earlier than anyone could have 
hoped.' 
[Ch.3, p.33, UK hardback GoF].

Pre QWC, when little danger was expected, Harry has one adult with 
him or in calling distance. Post QWC, when it's obvious that the  
DE's are active, he's surrounded by adult Weasley's. Bill and 
Charlie come with the family to Platform 9 and 3/4, despite the 
extreme overcrowding in the muggle taxi's. [Ch. 11 GoF]

See http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/message/40044 for a 
discussion (amongst other things ;-) ) of the idea that the 
Weasley's are a more powerful family than Harry realises.
