Hmmm... Safe enough to wander around Privet Drive and get attacked
by Dementors?

TrekkieGrrr;:
But then, the Blood Protection thing could be keyed against 
VOLDEMORT, and no-one would imagine that someone from the ministry 
would set Dementors loose on Harry, so that wasn't taken into 
account when the protection was spelled out.

Bookworm:
That's exactly the reason.  (OoP, Ch37) Dumbledore tells Harry, "She 
may have taken you grudgingly, furiously, unwillingly, bitterly, yet 
still she took you, and in doing so, she sealed the charm I placed 
upon you.  Your mother's sacrifice made the bond of blood the 
strongest shield I could give you.... While you can still call home 
the place where your mother's bolld dwells, there you cannot be 
touched or harmed by Voldemort.... You need return there only once a 
year, but as long as you can still call it home, there he cannot 
hurt you."

So Harry can't just visit there for a month then move back to 12GP.  
He must still call it home.
