I wonder whether there *are* any ruins anymore, it's been what, 15-
16 years since? According to Hagrid, Muggles could see the ruins, 
but I'm not sure if local authorities would just leave the ruins 
intact or if there would be some investigation as to whose house is 
this, who owns the land, etc. And if the land belongs to a wizard/a 
muggle other that Potters, I wonder if he/she is still alive or not. 
If yes, I would assume she or he would rebuild or at least clear the 
space from ruins and rubbish, otherwise local authorities should 
have done it and would have claimed the land ownership if there are 
no heirs?

JKR has not told us readers who the owner of the house in GH was, I 
wonder if Harry actually asked anyone about it...but hang on, it 
can't be Potters' house as he'd get it in their will along with the 
gold that he has access to already. Speaking of which, who is his 
legal guardian in the wizarding world, I mean, is anyone who has the 
key for Gringotts vault automatically able to open it legally? I 
mean, with Gringotts high security, it does seem a bit odd.
