What I don't understand is why the Order would guard it at all.  The 
only one besides Harry who can remove it is Voldy himself.  So let 
the DE's try.  What could happen?  But if Voldy did decide to go get 
it himself, which of them could stop him?  Harry and DD seem to be 
the only possibilities.  Guarding Harry would have made more sense.  
Maybe that's why, the night Harry and Co went to "rescue" Sirius, no 
one was on guard duty.  There was just no purpose to it.
