Oh, I so hope not. I so hope that Dumbledore did not know that Harry 
will be abused at Dursleys and only placed him there to save his 
life, because honestly, if Dumbledore placed Harry there to train 
him ( shudders at the thought), well such Dumbledore in my book is 
no better than Voldemort for whom all his "loyal" DE are nothing 
more than means to get what he wants.

I believe DD who says in HBP that he hoped that Dursleys would treat 
him as a son. I think DD was truly afraid that Dursleys wil throw 
Harry out and then nullifying blood protection.

But I don't see Dumbledore who knew what torments Harry would face 
at Dursleys and still would choose to leave him there, I just don't 
see it at all. IMO of course.
