Karen here,
My question is if the Dursley's house isn't safe, why does DD
allow him to return? There must be some level of protection
around Harry that LV has not been able to breach, even with his
"coming back to life" potion. Although it would be a great
opening scene to see Privet Drive under attack, I can't imagine
that she would open her book that way, it would be too high a
level of intensity to keep going on with.
I read a few other posts and in them they said that JKR said she
was going to use a scene she had thought about using in PS,
GoF and OoP. So to me, that means that she will open with a
more in depth scene regarding GH. I'm hoping that the opening
scene will somehow introduce the HBP or give huge clues as to
who he is, and if he will be a friend or foe to Harry.
