Heh, Harry's departure has had effects beyond disconcerting Albus and it seems to have emboldened the Pureblood clique to take steps they wouldn't have dreamed of earlier. I rather suspect that the Ministry's attempts to further marginalize Harry are going to fail majorly when they are unable to find him. I rather suspect that both Ron and Ginny, for different reasons, are both quite bothered by the Potters' abscence.
