Alla:
So, I was asking whether you consider it to be good plotting or
good "connecting of the dots" if the answer to the question why
Dumbledore left Harry there to be abused will be simple - Dumbledore
has to chose between Harry's survival and the abuse.


Snow:
I agree! Where `could' Harry have lived, the Dursleys or with a 
wizarding family? 
This reminds me so much of the child who is home schooled or in a 
private school for their protection of the cruelty (among many other 
factors) that defiantly lies within. What happens to this child when 
they are not welcomed into the real world after that schooling or the 
reality of that world slaps them in the face? They are not street-
smart, they don't recognize their adversaries because they didn't 
have to live among them or fear them or deal with them, they are like 
the kitten that has always been protected against the outside world 
that escaped one day and doesn't even know how to get back to where 
it belongs, Survival of the Fitness. 
It is never the easy road that makes you strong but the hard one. 
Where is the protection
it is their life
their choice
such maybe the 
Dumbledore theory! Grow up hard. Everything didn't come to Harry on a 
silver spoon with the Dursleys
in fact far from it. Was Harry 
protected
No
But if Harry would have been allowed the privileges of 
growing up in the world he was born to
what might he have been

another Tom Riddle or a Malfoy?

Harry's parents aren't physically there for him but somehow; someway 
Dumbledore has appointed himself guardian over Harry. This man, who 
has been acknowledged as the epitome of goodness, has not put Harry 
in the private school atmosphere but allowed him to face
much
much 
more
because
Dumbledore knows!
