This is why I imagine Harry getting Grimauld.  He is after Sirius' 
legal ward and after all the work that the Order has done fixing the 
place up, surely JKR won't let them lose it, IMHO.  It also occurs 
to me that Harry's inheriting Grimauld would be a great plot device 
for the coming books.  He'd live in the Order's Headquarters, plus 
with his new found talent for teaching/faciliting spells against the 
Dark Arts, we'd have a perfect setup for a real "Anti-Voldemort 
Center".  What do you think?

Yes, I think that Harry should inherit old Number 12 Grimmauld, but 
it probably won't happen until he is of age (in the wizarding world, 
17). But we know that he can't live there permanantly yet: according 
to DD Harry must return to Privet Drive every year so that he can be 
protected by his mother's bloood charm. If this charm was not in 
place, IMHO, then Harry would surely have been sent to No. 12 
immediately following GoF, which would have meant that he would not 
have had to have spent a miserable month on Privet Drive, and 
perhaps would have lightened his mood a bit. But that's all beside 
the point. Harry can't be at Grimmauld Place permanantly, the blood 
charm won't work anymore. Privet Drive is the only place where LV 
can't harm him. Here's an interesting thought, though: how long will 
the charm work? Will the Dursleys end up targets for LV now? Are 
they protected by their relation to Harry and Lily? Or is it a one 
way thing? When Harry's of age will the protection end? Just a few 
things that I have been pondering since my last read through.
