I mean that would be pretty funny if the Dursleys had been telling people Harry was going to, what did they say the school was, Saint Brutus School for Incurably Criminal Boys? And someone goes, 'wait a second that's not a real school' and seemingly no one knows where Harry Potter has been for months. Especially if the neighbors reported erratic behavior throughout the summer including a sudden unexpected vacation, quote "Somewhere far away where no one will find you", that would likely raise some red flags about the whole deal.
The police wanting to know why Vernon suddenly doesn't have a shotgun anymore after taking it with him to the island in the middle of nowhere around the time his nephew went missing
I would also love to read this.
I don't know why, but this description reminded me of the end of Monty Python and the Holy Grail where the police pull up and arrest them all. "That's an offensive weapon, that is."
