Pippin:
No one seems  to have been loitering with the purpose of
meeting Harry. They aren't hanging out by his school or his house and
they seem to vanish within seconds of spotting him. Further we
don't see anyone we know to be a DE. I'd say that Dumbledore's
spells can't stop Harry from being recognized by the occasional wizard 
but they don't allow him to be hunted and they don't let any wizard
who does recognize him linger in the area.
