Why did he not simply BRIBE the Dursleys?

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.
Tonks now:
DD does not bribe the Dursley's because he is a wise man who is too
good and too noble to do that sort of thing. Period.

LOLOL! That was funny. I would think that Dumbledore would be
forgiven by the higher powers if he would do that for the sake of
improving Harry's home life.
Seriuously, though I think that Kjrstem is right on money. :o)
Bribery may not equal "willingly taken".
I also liked Pippin's suggestion, but nevertheless I think
Dumbledore can afford it indeed, no matter how much Dursleys would
have asked.
Just my opinion,
