Pippin:
The DE's in the Ministry don't need to be able to follow Harry's
movements in order to arrest him. The Ministry know perfectly well
he's going to wind up at the Weasleys -- that's where Scrimgeour finds
him. What they want is convincing evidence that he broke the law in
leaving Privet Drive. Harry is not a friendless unimportant wizard
like Stan Shunpike, so they want something that will stand up. 

The trace doesn't help them track Harry, but it will tell them what
spells were used in his vicinity.
