One of the things that always bothered me about the HP series was the 
lack of support that Harry receives. It not so much the fact that he 
has been sent back to the Dursleys, but the fact that he is abandoned 
there is what gets me. And if the Order just leaves Harry at Privet 
Dr. to stew in grief and guilt, well JKR says that this summer will 
be Harry's shortest stay with the Dursleys that you wonder is they 
have to take him out because he hurts himself.  McMax.
