Actually...
Pre-Hogwarts: DURSLEY-trouble + all that uncontrolled and unknown 
magic. Not good for anti-Muggle security, is it? What about shopping 
with Petunia? if a wizard could bow to Harry, another might have 
killed him!

Dobby- a house-elf - got trough (well, yes, he was there with the 
idea of protecting Harry, but his methods tended to get rather lethal 
to Harry...). Could it be possible for a house-elf on orders to pop 
into 4 Privet Drive and kill Harry? and What about the Masons? You 
might get yourself trough by invitation...

Then - well, Harry loses control and leaves. Bound to happen some 
time... AND Harry did get glimpse of Sirius at Magnolia Crescent. 
(Again, benevolent act, but - possible trouble).

Apparently one *can* at least disapparate from 4 Privet Drive, and 
organise a floo-connection since Arthur Weasley did it. (sure, they 
got stuck first and were there for Harry, but still...)

And then we get the Dementor ATTACK.

Anyway, I'm not altogether certain if Dumbledore's blood-protection 
was ever magically at work: Harry kept wishing some 'unknown 
relative' would come and take him away; he felt like a prisoner; 
Sirius offered him a home - not *new* home. Harry never felt like 
home there -- not so sure how that effects.

What about Lily's hair being auburn while Petunia's is black? What if 
Petunia was adopted into Evans family - while Lily was born into it - 
and therefore she's NOT Lily's blood.

As to how Harry will leave this time... Maybe he'll tell the 
neighbourhood kids the truth about his school - and they believe him, 
even though Harry doesn't do any magic - seeing Harry's photo-album, 
maybe... Or something else. A party (Sirius' memorial?). A note from 
Gringotts saying he's inherited a big deal of money (Sirius' will, of 
course) - or some one, a relation unknown - who had er - dwelled on 
memories and forgotten to live, planning suicide by the Veil--  until 
Harry blasted into the Department of Mysteries and gave the person a 
reason to live... or 'everyone says' is wrong AGAIN and Sirius comes 
back, as he didn't really die, after all; Maybe he ended up 
TimeTurned in past to become Stubby Boardman or something; Sirius 
gets cleared via Quibbler and catching that rat - WHERE WAS THE RAT 
in OOP? What if an invisible, TimeTurned!Sirius catches him after 
Harry leaves the scene, keeps him hidden somewhere in a location 
protected by Fidelius (Secret Keeper being someone trustworthy. A 
Goblin, perhaps? Hob*goblins*, you know...)... F&G invite him to 
company meeting?
