Yes indeedy, the road to hell is paved with good intentions...now if only 
there were traffic signs and a road map :)

While DD might have been able to "make" the Dursleys behave better, wouldn't 
that just have set a bad example for the rest of the WW society?  Here DD is 
this great respected wizard who makes a pair of Muggles play nice...it's 
more to my way of thinking a "damned if you do, damned if you don't 
scenario" for DD to do anything under those circumstances.
