But wouldn't it be a lot safer, Harry with Pentunia? The closest 
people in the to us are our brothers and sisters. It would only make 
sense, both of our parents bloods mixed together in you and your 
siblings in almost the same way.

And maybe Petunia had a falling out with her family. We know how 
bitter she is. Maybe Harry really is a Pureblood. For some reason, 
though, I think this is improbable. It would have been revealed 
before now.
