I may be the only one on list who thinks this, but I believe Harry 
has already begun to master legilimency and occumency.  I imagine his 
stay at Privet Drive filled with the answering of many, many 
questions about Petunia's motivations and Dudley's demons.  Petunia 
can fire "Don't ask questions!" at him day and night but even if she 
doesn't want to speak the answer, it will come to the front of her 
thoughts and: whoop, there it is.  It could prove to be a very 
enlightening summer for Harry. 

As far as leaving Privet Dr., I think Harry will leave on his own 
accord either to protect the Dursleys or because the Order need him 
for something.
