Worshipping Harry

Now I searched long and hard and I'm almost certain no one's mentioned this. (Hope I'm right)

I was reading through EH's post about Harry?s shrinking popularity, and I came across one part that really stuck a chord in my head.

EH:
>>In addition to all this, for the Wizarding community
to begin to turn against Harry and doubt him is a far
more believable turn, rather than have them continue
to practically worship Harry as they have for 13
years. <<

(Yes, sorry, out of that long message this is all that struck me, forgive me)

But it was the "worshiping Harry for 13 years" part. As I was reading that I thought, "Well yeah, the world?s only even known the real Harry for four years, he was locked away at the Dursely?s so long." So, I didn't pay too much attention at first. Then, suddenly I was like oh my gosh, what if Harry wasn't just staying with the Dursley's for protection, but because Dumbledore was going to need his popularity!

Now, admittedly, I haven't a strong case or anything but I was thinking, it definitely could be at least an other reason why Harry was there. 

Here?s a bit of an idea:

Dumbledore leaves Harry at the Dursley's, but no one *really* knows why. Protection, that's all Dumbledore tells them, (Minerva and Hagrid.) But maybe it wasn?t some physical protection, for after all, there wasn?t any real reason he'd be harmed. A DE maybe, but there was so few that were actually loyal to V, who'd really risk it? Well ok maybe some but that's not my point. 

What is my point? My point is, maybe Harry needed to be protected from the public's eye. The public won't tire of him so quickly, he would become, in essence, more of a fairytale that they loved to hear about. So, when Harry does gets his letter, comes to Hogwarts, Harry becomes an instant, once again, public favorite, and Dumbledore has a pawn

Dumbledore, who I've always thought must have some understanding of the future (whether due to his knowledge of the past or otherwise) creates a sort of plan. His plan, probably about when to tell Harry certain things, when he *knows* certain things will happen, lots of little things that would probably answer most of our questions, is based on Harry's influence on people like the MoM, or even the Weasely's (added support)

He couldn't convince Nicholas Flamel to give up the stone, his life, so when Voldemort comes for it, he sends out Harry. He was cleaver about it yes, but Dumbledore must have known Harry would stop him. Hagrid and the Flute? Ron happening to be good at chess? And who's to say Dumbledore hasn't given Hermoine a reading list of some good "useful" books? 

The CoS is opened, sure maybe this wasn't foreseen by Dumbledore, but he's prepared nonetheless, he concocts a plan, and Harry, who just happens to be parseltounge, is the key player. With a little help from Fawkes and Godric's sword, Harry should be just grand.

Happenings in all the books could easily be credited towards Dd. And I'm sure many, if not most, probably think so. They key though, why Harry, could just be his fame. Now that that's dwindling, and Harry's older and experianced, they're ready to fight, full throttle, Lord Voldemort!

I think I over explained maybe a little (blushes at her enthusiasm) but I think Harry's staying at the Dursley's definetly preserved his fame. Personally I think it was one of Dumbledore's intentions. I at least think it's a worthy topic, and might contradict the Dursleys serving an other purpose.

shoot me down if it's your will.
