 Hmmmm wonder WHY he leaves and abandons protection that staying in
 Privet Drive provides, especially considering that the Second War has
 begun.>>

<<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.>>

jozoed (now): Judging by Harry's behaviour in OOTP- his frustration 
and anger with anyone and everyone- I wonder if Harry will disregard 
Dumbledore's advice/ protection about Privet Drive. In the UK, once 
you are 16 you are legally entitled to leave home. I wouldn't be 
surprised if Harry chooses to leave the Dursleys of his own accord. 
And go where? Well *if* he inherits Grimmauld Place he may move in 
there? 

Plus Dumbledore said that the protection of Privet Drive remained as 
long as Harry could call it 'home'. Well I live in my own house, with 
my husband... but when I visit my folks I still say I'm 'going home'.

Just a thought.

two responses both of which have upset the house elves! Sorry for 
that- I was too excited about finally being able to chat non-stop 
about HP!!)
