The Dursleys did more than refuse to love Harry. They allowed
Dudley to bully him and they raised Harry to be isolated from
society. Dumbledore does have a responsibility to ensure that
Harry is treated well. Noone loved Tom Riddle and he became a
sociopath. Dumbledore can't have history repeat itself. Once
Harry was out of the Dursley household he could have become a
bully like Dudley but he chose a different path.
