Anything?


Well, I could do with a cleaning and packing spell.

But what makes uncle Vernon yelp and release Harry "as if he had received an electric shock"? Did Harry do magic? If so, why didn't the ministry react?


I believe this is Harry's mom's protection kicking in. That or some unconscious magic from
Harry like when he was a kid. I don't think the Ministry can track that.

And why did Harry get the rap for Dobby's magic, while nobody reacts to all the magic of the Advance Guard? It seems to suggest a change in how underage magic is tracked.


The Advance Guard aren't underage. Since Dobby is nonhuman, perhaps his magic registers as underage.

Tracking underage magic is one discrepancy that bothers me in this series. I usually let things go, but in the next book with Tom Riddle and Marvolo Gaunt Dumbledore says that the Ministry merely know where the magic is taking place, not who is doing it. So Harry could get nailed when Dobby dropped the dessert because no one but Harry lives there who can do magic. Dumbledore further states that it is up to witch and wizard parents to regulate the magic their kids use. I had a huge WTF moment. You know Draco's parents let him do whatever he damn well pleases. If you have a rule this big you should take better steps to enforce it IMHO.
