Dorothy's answer:
  Petunia evidently took him thinking they (she and Vernon) could take the 
"strangeness" out of him.  I don't think she had any idea of what 
constituted a magical contract, but I do think the Dumbledore frightened and 
intrigued her.

Dorothy's answer:
  I think Dumbledore thought that Harry would be safer there than in 
anywhere in the wizarding world since there were still those loyal to 
Voldie.  And since Petunia was a blood relative, the magical contract was 
ironclad.

Dorothy's answer:
  Draco seemed to be a bit of a coward, but I think he was most afraid of 
angering his father, therefore his boggart might have been an angry father. 
Just a guess on this one since I never gave much thought to this before.

Dorothy's answer:
  I think, but I'm not sure, that the dark mark disappeared once Voldie 
died.  Otherwise, if I'm wrong here, it certainly would have faded.
  Think peace,
   Dorothy
