Well, it was supposed to be for his continued protection until he came of age.
But given the ease of their staying hidden for a whole year after that, one could imagine any number of places where he would have been safer than the one place where he would be _known_ to be and in mortal danger after a well-publicized date. Re: Apparition from the porch - I could imagine that the DEs could prevent it, somehow. After all, anti-apparition wards _are_ in canon. And also, oh noes, he didn't pass his apparition licence. Just mentioning it becase is suddenly so important not to break laws at the start of DH, while it is perfectly OK to cast Unforgivables at the end of it.
