<beg> I love this Carol. I am running out of posts too, but I can't
let this go by without toying with the idea myself. 

Here's a scenario thats fun to imagine:

Sometime during the first few weeks of the summer Harry comes to the
realisation that his awful relatives are in mortal danger (perhaps
while looking at and contemplating the weasley clock at the Burrow).
As much as the thought of them being scared sensless by menacing death
eaters is delicious he can't bear the thought that they'd be murdered
in cold blood by Voldemort because they were left defenseless.

He decides to get them to go into hiding. By hook or by crook he'll
get the silly Dursleys into a safe place to protect them. But the only
place he owns and can use is .. Grimmauld Place.. 

So he secret keeps for the Dursleys and moves them unceremoniously
into his Godfather's old very very magical home, with Mrs Blacks
freaky old portrait, boggarts in the cupboards, doxys and other such
things that their nightmares are made of. How touching it would be for
Harry to give his only possession to the awful Dursleys and secret
keep for them to protect their lives. And how fitting and apt for them
to have no choice but to live in the Magical Grim Old Place..
