BettieTheBookWorm:

Could it be that there is a photo on the wall somewhere of a wizard 
who alerts DD when Harry is in trouble?  Perhaps Petunia has been 
forced to alter her beautiful decor in some way to allow a wizard in 
to watch over Harry.

Tonks:
I agree with whoever said that DD just understands human nature and 
expected that Vernon and Petunia would have those feelings of 
wanting to get rid of Harry after Dudley was attacked.
 
But while we are on the subject. Remember once DD said he didn't 
care what they did as long as they didn't take him off the chocolate 
frog cards.  I think that is how he knows what is going on in many 
places around the school or where students are who have a collection 
of cards. Course that are many portraits around as well. But I 
suspect the frog cards are important too.

Tinktonks:

I'm saluting that one! In fact do we have any cannon of another 
wizard that is still alive being on the chocolate frog cards? I 
think that would be a brilliant source of information but do you 
think that DD would spy on people?

I think the chocolate frogs card is such a great call because now 
you mention them this way I think of all the clues. DD's password is 
always a type of sweet, frogs get mentioned steadily throughout the 
series more than any other type of sweet. By bill in OotP in Harry's 
dream about Cho in OotP. Etc etc.

JKR answered on the FAQ's poll that she liked the idea of chocolate 
frogs as the way the Order communicated but it was wrong, we had 
already seen it (IE patronuses).

Would Mrs Figg be allowed on the Floo network as she is a squib? If 
not how would she talk to Dumbledore? It would explain why she 
couldn't talk to Dumbledore straight away after the Dementor attack-
she would have to wait for DD to check in!
