Yes, I do.  The question on this thread was whether Dumbledore had
bribed or threatened the Dursleys in some way to make them take
infant Harry into their home.  I meant "willing" in the sense that
Petunia didn't have to be bribed or threatened.  She accepted the
responsibility and wasn't happy about it one damn bit.

But she still did it willingly - in an unwilling way, of course.
