Lady McBeth:
  I somehow doubt that JKR is going to abandon the Privet Drive plot 
device.  She seems to stick to pattern pretty consistently.  Jo has 
said that this will be Harry's shortest stay at Privet Drive.  It 
immediately came to mind that Harry might be called on to testify in 
the trials of those rounded up in the MOM.  Only one of the children 
could tell a jury what happened before the adults arrived.  The 
adults cannot testify to what they didn't see . . . its hearsay.  I 
see a return to 12 GP to facilitate easy travel between the MOM and 
home.  Perhaps Tom Riddle isn't the only person who kept a diary.  
There's certainly tons of possibilities for Harry finding cool, 
forgotten stuff in the old mansion.
