CV: I don't think it was an image. I think it was Dumbledore's
patronus  sending a message to the Order that everything is fine, go
along with the plan.

CV: I think it was really a message meant for Harry. "Don't skip this
last bit of protection while I'm away." As soon as Harry stops calling
the Dursleys' "home", the protection goes away. That would be after
Dumbldore's "death" unless Dumbledore makes sure otherwise. There is
really no point to making such a speech for the Dursleys' benefit. As
long as Petunia thinks Dumbledore is viable, then she will make sure
that Harry has a home there. I wish I knew what leverage Dumbledore
has over Petunia.
