Sirius:>Hi all- new to list...

me: i think you misses the title it says (end book 4) meaning when dumbledore sent him home at the end of book four.
we all know why dumbledore sent him to live with the Dursleys to begin with. It was far better for harry to live with cruel nasty buggers than to go around the magic world and become a Gilderoy Lockhart type person.

Sirius:>Even in the magical community, I think J.K.R. has endeavoured to make it clear that there are many laws which are the same. Petunia Evans, now 
Dursley, was Harry's only living relative, so most likely the same laws apply 
in the magical world as in the muggle world. If this isn't the case, there 
are many arguments for why, although the Durselys were not the most wonderful 
home that could have been provided, Harry needed to go live there. Here are a 
few off the top of my head:

>1. After Lord Voldemort's attack on Harry, Dumbledore knew that the Death 
>Eaters, not caught and sent to Azkaban, would surely want to kill Harry.
>2. If Voldemorte regained his strength before Harry was old enough to attend 
>Hogwarts, he would have had an easier time finding Harry in a wizarding 
>household. ( The scar would have tipped anyone off as to Harry's identity.)
>3. Harry's Godfather, the only other viable gaurdian at the time, was thought 
>to have tipped off Lord V. on the whereabouts of Lilly and James POtter... 
>and of course that was that whole Petter Pettigrew mess in the street that he 
>was also wrongfully blamed for causing.
>4.Perhaps there is some twist in the plot of the books yet to come that will 
>explain why Dumbledore thought perhaps it was best that Harry go to a muggle 
>family.

>Just my thoughts,
>Snuffles

again it sounds like your answers 1-4 are all pertaining to pre book 4 where as this thread is pertaining to the end of book 4
easy mistake ;)
