I read in DH p.482 about Bill moving the family out of the Burrow one by one to Auntie Muriel's house, and he got Ginny from school.  There is a part of the book saying that Fred & George were driving Muriel nuts, but for the life of me I can't recall what part of the book it is in.

Anyway.

How did Fred and George continue running their joke shop out of Aunt Muriel's house if it was under very strong magic, and Mr. Weasley is the Secret Keeper.  Wouldn't MM and DE see all the owls coming and going and intercept them?  I highly doubt the joke stuff would be any use to DE and MM, but it would be an inconvenience to G&F if they didn't get money.  Plus, because of the comings and goings of all the owls, wouldn't the MM and DE have an idea where the Weasleys are in hiding at, and couldn't they use some really strong magic and get through the enchantments and get to them?  They did it once at the Burrow, at the wedding, p.159 - 160,why couldn't they do it again?

Just curious.
