And if we remember his conversation with Harry later (in OotP???), 
he had been quite dispassionately weighing up the pros and cons, 
and did not expect to become as attached to Harry as he later 
became - Harry as a babe was a piece in a game of wizard chess 
that DD was playing - Harry as a teenager was loved and admired 
by DD to the extent that DD risked making a wrong move...
