I think the obvious explanation is most likely.  Dumbledore is a 
hugely powerful wizard and she is terrified of magic - maybe she 
thinks that he'll curse her or kill her if they chuck Harry out.  
Maybe Dumbledore had a little fun and threatened her a little to that 
effect, though he wouldn't of course actually attack her.  Or maybe 
he just said something like "Well, if you throw Harry out, it will 
naturally become well known and many angry wizards and witches will 
turn up on your doorstep, thereby destroying your oh-so-normal life."
