I have decided to start to read the series all over again. I am at a
point where two ideas of Dumbledore do not make any sense.

**Why in the world leave the child with someone who hates all he is
about?  There was no guarantee at first that the Dursleys would take in
Little Harry.

** It almost seems as though Dumbledore cares not about all the abuse
Harry will suffer and he does.

**How does Dumbledore expect the spell to hold if he can not be sure if
the Dursleys will keep Harry?

**Hypothetically, you would figure they would not know when Harry's
powers would come to fruition, so why would they treat Harry so bad
straight away?  How does she think keeping a child she does not want makes her look, as that is all the Dursleys seem to think of is how things make them look. 

**For some people being so scared of magic they sure take great chances in mistreating Harry, that made no sense.  It seems as they are trying to goad him into doing things just so they can yell at him but that is just MO. Please jump in. I wonder how you all feel about thses points?

**Oh before I forget why does it take so long for someone who truly
cares about Harry to step up and say something on his behalf to the
Dursleys?
