Does anyone know, was there ever mention of what plants were around
the Dursley's house?  I know Holly is supposed to protect from wizards
. . . and I know it's in Harry's wand.  I was thinking about how
wand's choose the wizard, and how it was curious that it chose Harry,
with Holly and Phoenix feather (knowing it also had chosen Voldemort)
and did a little research on the properties of the two.

An excellent protective herb, Holly guards against lightning, poison
and evil spirits. Planted around the home it protects it and its
inhabitants from mischievous sorcerers. When thrown at wild animals,
holly makes them lie down quietly and leave you alone, even if you
don't hit them with the plant. Holly water (infused or distilled) is
sprinkled on newborn babies to protect them.

and then I was wondering if that might have been one of the
protections around the Dursley's?
