Why wasn't Harry sent to either a lightsided wizarding family or a muggle family?

Jutika:
    Heres how I analyze the whole thing.....
  Harry's ability to love protects him from Voldemort. But IMO this protection comes from the blood ward itself. Even Ron and Hermione have lived with loving families and even they have the ability to love (sometimes even more than Harry's ability..), but they still are not protected by that ability.
  On the other hand, Lily's sacrifice (i.e. her love for Harry) is what Dumbledore keeps referring to as old magic which Voldemort can never understand....
  Just IMO....
