Harry's protection at Dursleys' lasts until he is 17, as you point 
out, but also as long as he can call 4 Privet Drive home. If Harry 
leaves before he is 17, never to return, the protection ends at 
that point.

Besides, there is nothing to stop Harry going to Godric's Hollow 
and the Weasley wedding whilst staying at the Dursleys'.

I believe that there will be an attack on Privet Drive and Mrs Fig 
will get involved, magically or not. I also like to think that 
Draco will redeem himself in the attack by saving the Trio and 
telling them where to find the Horcrux Auntie Bella was keeping. A 
lot of plot advancement in just a few pages!

Just my opinion
