Thank you soooooo much for posting that!!! I'm so excited. Here's what think:

I agree that the dementors were probably trying to get Harry. He used the Patronus for protection. Fudge has weakened and maybe now he's joined the Dark Side, (hence the ending chapter of GoF, The Parting of Ways). Now the Ministry is after him. Aurther Weasely, being on the Good Side, stays at the Burrow to help out. Mrs. Weasley takes the kids to a special hideout. Harry gets there by a portkey arranged by Mr. Weasely. Because of the serpent doorknob, they could be at a number of places. The home of a Slytherin would be very unsafe, so perhaps it's at Hogwarts? We'll just have to wait and see Only 9 more days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
