I've long had the idea that Harry's protection at Privet Drive extends
not just to Voldemort, but to Voldy's agents, as well.  Otherwise, the
protection isn't really worth much--"Say Lucius? Be a dear and pop
over to Little Whinging for me, please." 

That would be why, if it's true that no one was worried before Harry
left PD (we only see Harry's POV, and we *know* things where hidden
from him) they weren't worried about Sirius--they thought he was one
of Tommy's Toerags, and hence, unable to touch Harry in Petunia's home.
