Alla:

True, Jim. A year with loving parents is actually the only reason for 
Harry to remain "good" which makes sense to me. Otherwise, I just 
have to doubt the truth of JKR writing.
I also love Rita Winston's theory that Lily left part of herself in 
Harry's head or heart, which supported him through all these years 
with Dursleys.
