Yes, I agree! For all the reasoning in the world, I do not think that
Harry should have been left in the care of the Dursleys. They clearly 
hate him, and how they have got away with all the abuse for the past 
13 years is weird.

I had never thought of it like that before. Dumbledore sure can't 
like Harry *that* much, considering what the poor boy has gone 
through at school. If the same had happened to Ron, however, Mrs 
Weasley would be furious and would probably be very angry at 
Dunbledore too, for letting it happen, while he is under the care of 
all the students at Hogwarts.

IMO, he needs a few things brought home, if you get my meaning, 
however great he is.
