Pippin:
One might point to Harry's relocation from the cupboard under 
pressure from the Hogwarts letters as a sign that it would have 
worked -- but -- and it's a big but--removing Harry from the closet 
wasn't the point of the letter campaign. The point of the letter 
campaign was for Harry to get his Hogwarts letter, and at that,  it 
failed.  Interfering with the Dursleys does not have predictable 
results.
