relate to.

Hmm...

How about Harry gets/has a disease (showing Dursleys neglect of him)? 
A disease with a fewer to start with, along with uncontrollable 
anger, and possibly a breath of fire. (Dragon Pox?) Then someone of 
Wizarding World comes to pick Harry up (Sirius could have, in PoA and 
some others (namely Moody, Lupin and Tonks) DID in OoP)...

And JKR did say this will be Harry's shortest stay ever. If Harry 
leaves 4 Privet Drive during the FIRST Chapter, it'll definately be a 
short stay!

Still, if Harry has Dragon Pox and breath of fire is included Harry's 
likely to burn his relatives! Oh, and it happens every time someone 
tries to wake him up!

(Never tickle a sleeping Dragon, remember? Dursleys are about to find 
out why not!)

I mean really, Artifical Artefacts (when did Harry NOT get so 
damaged?) Spell Damage (well duh, Harry's got his share of THAT...) 
Then there was the part of being harmed by a creature... (well, 
Harry's done with Dementors and he HAS been bitten by a basilisk AND 
a giant spider - healed by chocolate/Phoenix Tears) - all that's left 
of St Mungos departments is Magical Bugs. (After Harry's been in that 
Grimmauld Place, the Ministry and St Mungos, and at Hogwarts, maybe 
he's been infected? What WAS that silver instrument Sirius hit off 
with a book?)
