I refuse to entertain this theory, just as I refuse to entertain the one
that says James and Lily are really alive, because they then would been
willingly abandoning Harry to the Dursleys' ideas of childrearing. They
would be worse than Crouch Sr. No. I think it is no more than the truth,
that Harry has no other living relatives than the Dursleys. Why you people
want Dumbledore to be such a bastard is beyond me; I don't think he's
omniscient or all-good, and I do believe that of necessity he must remove
himself emotionally to be able to move his "pieces" in the required fashion,
but I will not make him a chessmaster to the degree required to leave a
15-month-old to face over a decade of mistreatment.
