Me:
I think he meant antagonism.  Harry raised by Snape?  What a story that would 
make.  He'd make Vernon Dursley look like Ward Cleaver.  But I don't think 
Dumbledore placed Harry with the Dursleys so he could be antagonized--that 
was just an unfortunate side effect.  The point was to hide him in the muggle 
world, where none of the Death Eaters could get their hands on him and try to 
finish Voldemort's job.  You can buy that whether you support MD or not.

Me:
Peter found Vapormort by communicating with the rats, not by using his Dark 
Mark, not to say Dumbledore couldn't have found him.

Grey Wolf:

nothing by attacking him in that state.

Me:
Well he wasn't *immortal*. He had to force himself second by second to go on 
existing, according to him.  I think the reason Dumbledore didn't go after 
him is because it would be almost impossible to catch Vapormort.   He was 
just essence.  You couldn't pin him down, and like Grey Wolf went on to say, 
if you sent somebody after him, he could possess them, and have a body again. 
 Dumbledore had no choice but to leave him alone.

Audra, still cracking up over the idea of Snape raising Harry...
Snape: "I shall call him...(A 2-year-old Harry toddles out in little flowy 
black robes, his hair slicked down)... Mini-Snape."  Bwahaha!
