snip.

I may be one of minority that doesn't completely discount that 
Dumbledore did leave Harry at the Dursleys so as to prevent him 
growing up to be a pampered little prince.  It's not the only reason, 
but it figures in the decision.  In OotP, we clearly see that Harry's 
father was spoiled.  


Alla:


Imagine  a bit different turn of events in the story. Imagine that 
Harry would be so upset with Dumbledore for leaving him with Dursleys 
that he would tell him something along the line - "You know what, 
Headmaster, go fight your war without me. I might as well be better 
with Voldemort than with you, who surely does not care about me at 
all"

Now, granted, Harry will never do that, Rowling will never do that(I 
would LOVE to see Harry try and escape from his destiny" storyline ), 
BUT surely Dumbledore should have thought about such possibility, did 
not he?

That is why I believe  that the only reason Dumbledore made his 
choice was Harry's survival, or at least that is what I want to 
believe.

I also disagree that we clearly see in OOP that James was spoiled. I, 
for example, saw no such thing.

I saw Bully!James , but not spoiled James and even Bully!James 
reasons are not quite clear to me yet.


Just my opinion,
