One thing that I find interesting is that perhaps the reason that DD
found it necessary to leave Harry with the Dursleys outside of blood
protection was that he knew he would face many hardships growing up
and that it was necessary as part of his training to save the WW. If
not for that training would he ever really have been able to do
anything more than be selfless and courageous?
