I heard a rumour somewhere that the Dursley's attitude changes

plan to sell him out. Even though old Voldy can't touch Harry or his  
household (I'm assuming), he could still find a way of getting in 
touch with the Dursley's under the cover of deceit and offering a way  of getting "rid" of their problems (Harry). They won't realise that  getting rid of Harry would mean death, though, just out of their 
hands.

I'm not so sure about this.  The Dursleys are so anti-magic and I don't think that LV could convincingly pass himself off as human.  Also, there is the question of what was in the letter that was left with Harry when he first came to the Dursleys.  We don't know exactly what it said, but we do know this: the Dursleys panic when Harry gets the first letter addressed to "the closet under the stairs."  Finally, why must Harry return to the family that abused him for years and years?  We know that students can't spend the summer at Hogwarts, but why couldn't he go to the Burrow?  There must be a reason that he has to go home to the Dursleys....while their attitude might change, I don't think that they would be hoodwinked by LV.
