Why will Harry Leave the Dursleys so soon?

Jo has already stated that Harry will leave the Dursleys for a much more 'pleasanter reason.'

I don't think the more 'pleasanter reason' why Harry will leave the Dursleys so early will involve Harry returning to 12 Grimmauld Place as this would probably just remind Harry of the very recent loss of Sirius.
It's hard to think what this could be as Harry has just lost Sirius and will still be very down about this.

I can think of three (admittedly very ludicrous) reasons for why Harry would get to leave 4 Privet Drive more quicker and for a more pleasant reason than normal,

Harry is going to be given an award by the OWLs examining body for his OWL result, which was the highest in 100 years (just a guess!). And so will have to leave Privet Drive much earlier as its the day after the OWL results come out.

Harry is formally asked to be the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, after all his D.A. student get 'outstandings' in the DADA examination and so is offered lodging at Hogwarts Castle. This probably won't happen unless Harry is given an exemption from Defence Against the Dark Arts NEWT class as he can hardly teach himself. Plus Harry probably wouldn't have the time to teach and take his NEWT classes, so I suppose this ones unlikely, although I still like the idea of Harry being a Professor.

Fred and George invite Harry (as there main benefactor) and Ron of course to participate in some publicity stunt for their joke shop, 'Weasley's Wizarding Wheeze'.

It just occurred to me that it might be a memorial service for Sirius but this would hardly constitute as ‘pleasant’, although it might offer Harry some closure on the matter.
