Great post, Steve.  Personally I don't think Dumbledore instigated
the group threat to the Dursleys at the end of OOTP; I think he
finally gave into the requests of others to allow them to do
something for Harry's benefit.  In short, Dumbledore is sufficiently
chastened at the end of OOTP that he's willing to listen to others'
ideas about the best thing for Harry.

My read, anyway.
