Alla:


OK, please point me to canon where it says with absolute certainty
(emphasis on these two words) that if Dumbledore had put Harry in a
different home, he would have been killed.

Snow:

Ask and ye shall receive. Cannons! Oh I would never have made such a 
blatant accusation without canon:

"But I knew where Voldemort was weak. And so I made my decision. You 
would be protected by an ancient magic of which he knows, which he 
despises, and which he has always, therefore underestimated-to his 
cost. I am speaking, of course, of the fact that your mother died to 
save you. She gave you a lingering protection he never expected
[  ] 
I put my trust, therefore, in your mother's blood. I delivered you to 
her sister, her only remaining relative." OOP pg. 836 U.S. version

Alla:
By the way, I suspect I am wrong on this one, so can somebody please
refer me to the quote , which says that Harry cannot be touched by
Voldemort's servants at Privet Drive? I must have been forgotten the
part, because if blood protection is only against Voldemort, then
Dumbledore's decision is even more shaky than I thought before.

Snow:

If Voldemort cannot touch him at the Dursley's neither can his 
followers. 

"
Dumbledore invoked an ancient magic, to ensure the boy's protection 
as long as he is in his relations' care. Not even I can touch him 
there
"GOF pg. 657

Not EVEN I can touch him there! Big one.
