With a wave to our members from Oz, I propose this one to the tune 
of "I Still Call Australia Home" by Peter Allen.

This is a rather sappy rendition of the song, but that's what was 
available. You might have to cut and paste the URL:

Sung by Dumbledore to Harry, in explanation of why Harry must 
continue to return to the Dursleys' at least occasionally.

You Still Call The Dursleys' Home

Because of your mother's supreme sacrifice,
'Twas tempered by an ancient magic device,
In safety you travel whereever you roam
While you still call the Dursleys' home.

Ferry your footsteps and follow a star
The blood charm will keep you no matter how far
Lay your head where you will near your broomstick and comb
But still call the Dursleys' home.

Though evil will seek you and terror will try
To capture and tear you apart
A powerful will, but much tougher still
Is the love in a mother's pure heart.

Loathsome it may be to keep going back
Abide where you will, whether mansion or shack.
Seek the horizon by thestral or brougham
But still call the Dursleys' home

Old magic created a powerful charm
Your mother's blood blessed it to keep you from harm
As long as no matter whereever you roam
You still call the Dursleys' - still call the Dursleys', still call 
the Dursleys' - home.
