I would love for the Weasleys to adopt Harry, but for some reason I 
don't see him leaving the Dursleys.  Why would Dumbledore keep Harry 
there, in those horrible conditions, for his enitre childhood if 
there wasn't some purpose in it?  And I don't totally buy the idea 
that Harry just could not have handled fame as a child and was 
therefore better off growing up with his only muggle relatives.  
There really must be something else to it.
