Rob now: I totally agree that it is the hand of glory.  I had posted 
this very idea earlier but even I can't find it in the archive so I 
have no post reference #, sorry.  

Anyway, I speculate that this hand will be used to attempt to attack 
Harry at the Dursley's. 

Why, you may ask?  

Simple, the legend surrounding the hand...If you are unfamiliar with 
it, look it up as it is very interesting.  A DE will try to get Harry 
but will be unable to because the Hand will be extinguished by milk.  
JKR strengthened my arguement for this in her interview. 

She stated that Harry will have the shortest time yet at the 
Dursley's. I think it is because he has to get more protection from 
the Order.   

She also said that someone late in life will discover they have 
magical abilities. This will be Petunia because of the blood 
protection that runs in her veins.

She also said that if she were Harry she would run and hide because 
she knows what is coming.  

Also the fact that she repeats in the books that Harry is safe at the 
Dursley's.  I think that this is the same as Hermione saying that 
nobody could apparate into Hogwarts, but House elves don't have a 
problem with it.  

Expect the unexpected....Always.

This is why I am sure that the hand is the something small. (other 
than the fact that it is also in the movie, which is a huge clue)
