Harry has to do is spend 1 night at Privet Dr for the protection to 
be in place. Harry doesn't have the time to hang around the 
Dursley's until the end of July.  He has hunting to do and a wedding 
to go to."


CH3ed:
While it is true that Harry needs to just spend a night at the 
Dursley to ensure that the protection is extended until his 17th 
birthday, the protection is only effective at the Dursley House. I 
don't have the book at the moment but as I recall DD said 'while 
Harry can call the place where his mother's blood (Petunia) dwells 
his home, THERE he cannot be harmed by LV.' So if Harry isn't going 
to hole up at the Dursley's until his protection runs out, then he 
might as well not go back there at all (but he will because DD told 
him to). The conditions of the protection; tho, has me wondered that 
if LV knew of the terms, why hasn't he tried to assassinate Petunia? 
If she goes, then so should go Harry's protection at the Dursley 
House. Without a living blood relative of Lily to reside with Harry 
hasn't got that protection. Tho there may be other protections yet 
that DD conjured up but hadn't told Harry (and us) yet.

CH3ed :O)
