   against underaged wizards    
   using magic out of Hogwarts.  3 years earlier, Harry had received a warning   
   letter for using a Hover Charm, and it wasn't even him!  In DH, Harry receives   
   confirmation that the MoM can detect magic done around underagers via the   
   Trace, but can't tell who    
   did it!  Hence, if ANY magic is done near Harry when he's at "home", HE (being   
   the ONLY wizard at Privet Drive) gets the blame!

   magic and send Harry some more nasty letters?   
      
   Movie: The letter sent to Harry about his Patronus charm was marked   
   confidential.  Why then did it shout out for all to hear?
