Um...me?  This is the other side of the argument I really don't get.  I 
can only assume that the assumption is that Harry wasn't in all that 
much danger.  But if I were given the choice between a warm and loving 
home for a few years, then my son in Bellatrix's hands for a few hours, 
then death, I'd take the blood protection with the Dursley's thank you 
very much.  Sure Harry suffered, but he's alive.

Seriously, I would send my child to the Dursleys in a heartbeat if the 
choice was that or death.  And many, many, many other parents have made 
that sort of decision before.  My heart aches for them, but I totally 
understand and agree with their thinking.
