Harry and the Dursleys

In SS, when Vernon and Petunia don't want to leave Harry home alone 
because they might come back and find the house blown up, I always 
assumed that they thought HARRY would be the one who would blow it 
up.  I'm sure that's what Harry thought, too.  But yesterday it 
suddenly occurred to me that they were afraid of VOLDEMORT coming 
around and blowing up the house, if Harry was in it alone.  Same with 
the car.  After all, they knew that James and Lily (and their house) 
were blown up.  Anyway, that made me think that maybe it isn't really 
Number 4 Privet Drive that's the protection, but physically being 
with his relatives that keeps Harry safe.  OK, everyone but me 
probably already knew that.  I'll go back to lurking now.  :)
