Aside from welfare of the child, can Harry go to Hogsmeade now?  His 
legal guardian was Sirius and at the end of PoA he gave Harry the 
signed letter of permission.
Now that he's dead.  I assume the legal guardianship now resides back 
with the Dursleys, and you know they won't sign the letter. 

Is it the end of the Hogmeade trips for Harry?
