Allie:

"Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia, 2 of my friends are coming to stay here.  
They are coming for a few days to help me pack up all of my 
belongings.  [Allie interjects that this would not take very long.] As 
soon as I turn 17, we will leave and you will never see me again."  

I think if Harry presented it in that way, the Dursleys would be so 
happy to be rid of him that they would go along with it.  Once before 
Vernon had been willing to do something for Harry (was it sign a 
permisson slip?) if it meant Harry would be out of the house.
