Del :
This seems to be an opinion shared by quite a few. Not by me though. 
My main reason is that if DD didn't intend to force the Dursleys to 
take Harry, why did he leave Harry on their doorstep in the middle 
of the night ? It's not an honest way to deal with such a situation. 
DD could have come to them during the day, with baby Harry, and ask 
them if they didn't mind keeping him. Leaving him on their doorstep 
didn't leave them much of a choice.

Moreover, the fact that DD didn't seem to worry about baby Harry 
being in danger while out there on the doorstep all night, makes me 
think that the charm had *already* been sealed, *before* Petunia had 
any say in the decision.
