Opening of Book 6 - Theories, Anyone?

Just wondered what half-baked theories anyone had about how Book 6 
will open.

JKR has said that Harry's stay at Privet Drive will be the shortest 
yet.

Here's my half-baked theory:

Because Voldemort has gained the ability to touch Harry without it 
hurting/killing him, I believe this is an indicator that the 
protection gained by Lily's sacrifice may be diminished, if not 
eliminated.  I can see Voldemort trying to attack Harry at the 
Dursleys' house.  He knows from OOP that Harry will defend those he 
cares about.  While Harry may not care about the Dursleys in the way 
he cares for his friends or Sirius, I believe he would feel an 
obligation to defend them (remember in SS when he worried something 
happened to Neville in the Dark Forest?  He said it was their fault 
that Neville was there.).

Of course, the attack will be thwarted because Harry will not have 
the final showdown with Voldemort until Book 7.  I'm sure DD has lots 
of people looking out for Harry and they, if not DD himself, will 
arrive to provide protection.  

The question arises:  if the Dursleys' house isn't safe anymore, 
where will they stay?  The only safe place I could think of besides 
Hogwarts would be DD's estate.
