Only after a Howler from DD. And DD must know that you can only push
people that far. Petunia changed her mind. But it could easily have
gone the other way. That is a huge risk to take with the only truly
safe place a child has in the world. 

As for other options: 

DE' can travel to Australia
DE' can kill a boy wit a private tutor

I think one of the reasons Neville's parents were tortured into
madness after LV's vaporisation was to make it clear that Harry had
made a lot of enemies when he survived and that there still are quite
a number of people who happily would have taken action if they could.

Well, to me that was completely logical. Voldy believes in the
prophecy so Voldy will go on until one of them is dead, preferably
Harry. So Harry's only way to get a life is to make sure LV is
disposed of. From the past, the MoM is not up to the job. DD could not
do it, because of the horcruxes, though he did his utmost to make sure
LV can be killed. And now DD is dead, so the only one who can protect
Harry is Harry himself.
