One thought I had last night on this before falling asleep that does touch
on this.  I was thinking about McGonagall in general, and ended up thinking
about that fateful Halloween night.  What does McGonagall do the whole next
day?  Sit at the Dursleys house and watch them.  Yes, we find out that she's
been waiting for Dumbledore to show up, but what if that's not the full
reason she was sent there?  What if DD was afraid one of the DE's would try
to take out the Dursleys (in particular, Petunia), and sent McGonagall there
to make sure they were safe?  She might not have even been aware of this
portion of her assignment, but I am sure that she would have acted if
someone had tried to hurt them.  I also notice that she had no problems with
Vernon going to work, but stayed with Petunia the whole day.   Then again,
there were plenty of other wizards around Vernon's workplace.  Perhaps one
of them was there to make sure nothing untoward happened to him as well.

Me:  Two problems. First- She was pretty disgusted with the Dursleys and tried to talk Dumbledore out of leaving Harry there.  She didn't seem to be part of any plan and didn't know what Dumbledore was doing really.  Second-When Dumbledore saw her waiting there he chuckled to himself "I might have known."  In other words he certainly didn't expect her presence there so her being there was not part of any plan of his.  In fact, I'm not sure that McDougall is part of the anti-Voldemort group at all. She seems left out of anything important.  Huggs Becky
