Oh *please* no!  What house would he be in?  Probably a Slytherin, 
even though he is muggle born.  Where else would he fit.  It's just 
too ugly for me to think about.  I like the idea posted earlier that 
the protection extends both ways. 

Imagine the turn around:
  
   "Harry, please!" begged Petunia as Harry packed his trunk.  "You 
have to stay at least one more day for this to be considered your 
home.  You can't leave us with out protection, we're muggles!"  and 
then Harry "Alright, Aunt Petunia.  But only if you make me a cake 
for my birthday, and let my friends come around."

Now that would be commic relief.  I a big birthday bash on Privet Dr. 
with all of the various characters visiting.  Luna with her Snorkack 
perhaps?  Maybe even Mundungus.

Loving the idea of a total shift in power on Privet,
