laurie responds:

that is my point--she must have been MADE to take him in. from all
that i have read lilly and as a follow, harry are NOT her most beloved
relations and for most of us to take in family we don't necessarily
like it has to be a damned good reason.

i was kinda wondering if there was like some kind of 'death threat'
aginst the Dursleys or some harm comming if Harry wasn't taken in or
something horrid like that
