Laurawkids:
I answered my own query by going to the Lexicon.  It seems that
Spinner's End is far from London, while Little Whinging is not too
far.  I wouldn't put it past Moody in that scene to fly way out of
their way, but it really describes the spiderweb lights as the first
town they fly over.  Sorry.

Laurawkids, wistfully thinking of thet "Convocation of Hate" at the
Dursley's and wishing I could read all the great exchanges between
those assembled.
