in the 6th book, after christmas, harry, ron, and ginny return to hogwarts by floo powder because "the ministry provided a one-off connection with the burrow".... this limitation was put there because of voldemort's return and the need for increased safety measures...
after voldemort was back and the ministry wanted to keep and eye on DD, they watched the fires of hogwarts in book 5.....
but how about the books before? before voldemort was back, there were no restrictions (as shown by sirius' conversations with harry in GOF..... and btw the lack of restrictions is really unsafe, and i wonder why DD didnt put any himself...)....
and so that makes me wonder......why didnt sirius just break into a wizarding family's home (like he did in GOF) and enter hogwarts through the fire in POA? why didnt wormtail just floo powder into hogwarts and stun harry and take him back to the graveyard in GOF, instead of constructing the elaborate Triwizard Tournament plan?.. well obviously, if they had done that, the stories would have been boring, but why did they overlook that.....?
yeah, those are just my thoughts.. would love to hear yours'
