sad1199 here:

 Interesting as that may be, Harry must stay at the Dursley's while 
Voldemort is alive for his own protection. Since we know that one 
way or another the books end when Harry is seventeen he can then 
live (or be dead) where ever he wants. But, I am sure that 
Dumbledore will enforce the blood protection thingie and persuade 
Harry to go back to the Dursley for that one last summer.

Have a happy love filled day.   sad1199
