In fact, mightn't he, getting away from being Harry, just run away, not as in POA, but really concertedly run away? At the same time think up a way to distract Voldemort from the rest of the witchwizard world, in an attempt to protect those closest to him, as he feels responsible for endangering them. He could get the appropriate information from Figg, about when the Order's guard was down, and off he goes, perhaps with the aid of the twins, say, providing him with a place to get his bearings after running off. He could get The Quibbler to publish believable fake sightings, though his 
Luna/Hermione connection. (Of course, the whole escapade would lead to complications, and he'd end up being at Hogwarts on Sept. 1 anyway.)

In fact, if Potter told Voldemort the whole prophecy, as he knows it, what would change? He Who Couldn't Kill a Little Baby really hasn't had much agenda besides doing the boy in anyway. It's really to Potter's advantage to have that prophecy out in the open, soon enough. Because, the prophecy means, first and foremost, if we take 
Potter's reading, that Voldemort CAN be defeated, by Scarhead. Under the right circumstances, wouldn't that potentially get Potter a lot of staunch allies?

Perhaps he doesn't go alone. Some radical from the Order 
maybe "helps" him.

What I mean is, going over to Slytherin, by itself, doesn't actually accomplish his not being Potter, if not being Potter is what he in fact does. 

Regarding the kid who might change houses. Another very good bet would be Ron going to Ravenclaw. And THEN asking Hermione on a date. After all, Ron got some brains.

Suppose that it is not changing houses but actually a Slytherin that helps with the running away?  I do not see the evil trio but maybe this is where Knott comes in?  I can see this as being the reason why he does not stay on Privet Drive very long this time.
