from a distance.

Carol responds:
Not just spies. I'm willing to bet that they're Order members. One of
them (the tiny man in the purple tophat who bows to Harry in a shop)
is definitely Dedalus Diggle. The man in the violet cloak could be
Elphias Doge and the woman in green who smiles and waves could be
Hestia Jones, who behaves in a similar way in "The Advance Guard." or
there may be other Order members we haven't met yet. I'm sure that DD
is making sure that Harry is safe and well and attending school. If he
had significant bruises or a broken arm, DD would know. As it is,
there's nothing more significant to report than broken glasses and
oversized clothes.

Carol, wondering how Aunt Petunia would have reacted if they'd
encountered Mundungus Fletcher instead of Dedalus Diggle
