<<I actually enjoy the scenes at the Dursley's,I think it would take
away from the storyline to change his interaction with them. >>

I can see them fading into the background in later books. The spell
that requires Harry to stay with them every summer may have worked
when he was a naive little boy, but he's getting a bit feisty with them
now. I can see him challenging that wisdom and staying with the Weasleys
instead. That's obviously what the Weasleys want, despite the fact that
it puts them at risk.

If Harry doesn't stay at the Dursleys I think JKR will still make use
of their comic potential by featuring them elsewhere and, as someone
said earlier, perhaps Harry will get to save their lives and earn their
grudging respect.
