Seems to me that paying the Dursley's to treat Harry better is pretty
close to paying them to take him into their house.  To me it seems
likely that bribery would negate the blood protection charm that
allowed Harry safety at the Dursley's house.  After all, could he
really have called it his home if they were paid to take him in?
