If he can get through the scaryness of it somehow.. it could just be a vital weapon on the Light Side! You never know... 

"Whatever happens at the Dursleys this (3 year) summer, my heart goes 
out to Harry.  I had nightmares for weeks after the WTC went down and 
I was way uptown at the time.  Harry was there, with Voldemort, with 
the DEs, witnessing Cedric's death, being tortured himself... he'll 
have to be unbelievably strong to get through this."

Yeh, I agree. At least at the Dursleys, he will (I hope) be fairly cut off from the WW. As someone said (I'm sorry, I forgot who) going back to the life where everything is so *petty* could be just the thing Harry's mind needs. Which is why, perhaps, Dumbledore is sending him back there. I do think that from what we have seen of him so far, Harry *does* have a lot of inner strength. He's been through an awful lot already, and I think he's getting stronger as a result of it. He also, in the WW, has some really good friends... and I think that will be very important.
