Geoff:
I think that scenario could have caused a whole heap of problems when 
the time came for Harry to come out of the woodwork. There would be 
disbelief that he was the real Harry and there is still the prophecy 
to contend with. It might perhaps wrong-foot Voldemort...

No. I think Harry going into obscurity for 10 years was probably best 
although I feel that Dumbledore could have applied more pressure to 
the Dursleys to look after him better and I still think there's a lot 
about Petunia which needs to be revealed which might have a bearing 
on this.
