Possibly, wizards who are fully trained and adults are 'registered' and
not monitored? So only 'unregistered magic' might trigger alarms.
Dobby isn't really supposed to do magic, being a non-human and Harry is
under-aged. Fudge made some mention of Figg being/not being
'registered'. If squibs are 'registered', then wizards may be to??
Or.. there are spells or magical items that block the MOM from detecting
magic from those who use them. Seems the Order might have ways to
prevent the MOM from knowing what magic they are using.
Or the Order got permission from the MOM to go get Harry and move him
elsewhere for whatever reason?
