Pippin:
The DE's are only interested in Harry, and won't care who actually
performed the spell. They will be able to prove through the Trace
that apparation (or whatever) was performed in Harry's vicinity, and
that he is the only wizard who is supposed to be in the area. That
will be enough to accuse him, by WW standards.
The Ministry DE's can deduce that Harry will celebrate his birthday
at the Weasleys just as Scrimgeour did, at which point they could have
apprehended him. The Order can't be sure that Scrimgeour will
object, even if he's in a position to, because he's still trying to
put pressure on Harry.
There isn't much logic to WW law enforcement -- after all, it never
seems to occur to them that Morfin is no longer an underage wizard
and couldn't have triggered the Trace which proved that magic had
killed the Riddles.
