DD at the Dursleys: Better Manner to Accept.

[Bruce Alan Wilson]

No: HPFGUIDX 158226

Marion:
"(But they did not *choose* to take in the boy. He was forced upon them like a
cuckoo forces it's young on a warbler. I for one do not judge them for that. If
they were consulted, had the option to say 'no', they might, just might have
said yes and treated the boy better. Or not, but then we would have the freedom
to judge them, because in accepting a guest of your *own free will* means you
have to treat him right)"

BAW:
We don't know that.  We don't know all what was in the letter DD left with baby
Harry.  It might well have included instructions as to what to do if they were
unwilling to keep Harry.  We do know that DD asked them to raise Harry as their
son, which they certainly did not do.  We have seen that the WW takes vows,
promises, and contracts very, very seriously.
