Pippin:
I have no beef against considering the Dursleys abusive, 
anyway. My only objection is considering them so abusive that 
any alternative including PamperedPrince!Harry, Dead!Harry,or 
RepeatedlyHavinghisGuardiansSlaughtered!Harry would be preferable. 


Alla:
Eh? I am not very comfortable with dividing abuse into degrees, but I 
said many times that much worse cases of abuse exist.

My ONLY objection is considering Dursleys not abusive at all. As to 
those readings, well let me just say that I consider to be 
PamperedPrince!Harry to be Dumbledore's paranoya anyway, IF 
Dumbledore considered it to be a danger EVER.

Am I being clear? The fact that Dumbledore may feel that he failed 
Tom Riddle, does not give him a right to mistreat another kid, just 
because Dumbledore afraid that this kid may go bad, BUT I don't 
believe that this was the reason anyway, or I want to think so.

Again, to ME the only reading, where Dumbledore is a good man who has 
to make a difficult choice is where he wants to save Harry and 
realises that he cannot do it any other way but leave the boy with 
Dursleys
