No, he didn't leave in PS/SS before his birthday. After shopping in
Diagon Alley, Hagrid puts him back in the train to the Dursleys, where
he stays until september 1st.
I also liked this question. Regarding the protection you mention, i had
the impression that Harry would be protected if he spends some time
every year with his blood relative, but that doesn't mean as much time
possible, i think.
I am really curious about how and where Harry will spend his summer. I
think definitely while at Privet Drive he will have more contact with
Arabella Fig. I wonder if he will need a Guard like in OotP or not to
leave, after all he is still in danger, don't you think? If he didn't,
i'd bet that Hagrid comes to pick him up in the motorbike. I have the
feeling that they won't put him in Grimmauld Place right away, if
indeed the place still belongs to the order or Harry, too many memories
of too recent events. So i tend to think that he will go to the Burrow
for a while, have the Weasleys help him cope a little, and only then
maybe go to Grimmauld.
So many possibilities!!!
Maria, who has been lurking for way too long and feels very happy with
all the new information.
