But...but...but...You forgot about Snape! 

Oh, right, he's teaching at Hogwarts, so despite his obvious if 
well-disguised fondness for Harry, he's probably not a viable 
option. Oh, well...

Seriously, I don't see a good alternative, if Harry's life depends
on the blood protection provided by his mother. Even if DD had
hidden Harry away somewhere, who's to say Voldy or one of 
his DE cronies couldn't have found him? DD would have always
had to worry about Harry's safety, wonder if Voldy (whoever or
whatever he'd become) would find some way to get to Harry. 
Harry's safety is a certainty at Privet Drive, nowhere else. 

I don't think DD had much of a choice.
