shortest stay at Privet Drive

I've been wondering about the "much pleasanter" (per JKR) reason 
Harry will leave Privet Drive this year.  It struck me that maybe he 
will have a job with the Ministry of Magic?  Sort of an internship 
or a part-time job, he is the right age to start working.  (Not that 
we've ever heard of *any* of these wizard kids having a job, I 
suppose not being allowed to do magic would interfere with the kinds 
of jobs they want, but not even a muggle paperboy among them?)  

Anyway, we already know Fudge is going to be replaced as Minister.  
We've already had the Dumbledore vs. Ministry plot, so the next 
Minister will most likely be on his side.  If s/he IS working with 
Dumbledore, surely Harry, the only one who has defied Voldemort FOUR 
times, would be someone useful to have around.  Or they'd at least 
want to be nice to the kid for a change.

Just a thought.

(It seems stupid to me for Harry to have to stay there anyway, since 
he's only protected INSIDE the house, what good is that???  We 
already saw what happens when people are trapped inside their 
houses...  It would be safer if he stayed at Hogwarts year round!)
