If so, why could they not tell that it was Dobby that did magic and not 
Harry. Dobby did NOT use Harry's wand.

I think LOCATIONS have spells on them that act as magical alarms to the 
MOM. A spell may be on the Dursley's house, detecting magic use within 
and up to a certain distance from the house. However, being as 
Dumbledore has a few aurors in his pocket at the MOM, magic done by 
'some' people coming and going from the Dursley's is ignored.
