I don't want to sound like I am personally attacking you Alla only 
what you have said and I don't know any other way to put this.

Alla:

That is a big IF, Pippin, IMO, especially in relation to money. Just
as Dumbledore kept the key from Harry's vault, while Harry was at
Dursleys, he could have done so if Harry was growing up in WW. You
know, sort of bwing a trustee for Harry.

What is the difference where Harry is growing up? Dumbledore still
has a key to his vault, no need to give it to Harry.

So, I think danger of being abused by fortune was relatively small.

Fame, well since I think that Harry was strong despite what Dursleys
threw at him, I think there could have been a very good chance that
fame would not have gone to Harry's head either.

So, I think that Harry was not in that big of a danger to be abused
by fame and fortune and advantage of having a loving family is
huge , IMO


Snow:

You are acting as though Dumbledore had a choice, he didn't! Harry's 
protection was where his mother's blood protected him. If Dumbledore 
had put Harry in ANY other place than his mother's blood relative, he 
wouldn't have lived long enough to enjoy his healthy atmosphere. 
Dumbledore gave Harry the best protection he could under the 
circumstances that were laid down by his mother's sacrifice. 

Could Harry have thrived better or the same as
is irrelevant if he is 
dead.
