This is my first post, so I hope it is put together okay. Anyway in
Chapter 3 (Will and Won't) of HBP, after explaining about the blood
protection (Voldermort cannot hurt Harry whilst he is at the
Dursleys'), Dumbledore asks the Dursleys to let Harry return one more
time, so that the protection lasts until he is seventeen.
This seems reasnoable on the surface, but imo it is not reasonable.
Here is my reasoning.
1: We know the protection applies to Harry, but does it protect the
Dursley's as well.
2: If it doesn't protect the Dursley's then Dumbledore is asking them
to risk their lives for a world, which they don't want to be involved
in.
Voldermort from what i understand, is quite capble of killing or
ordering killing to be done.
