With all due respect, if anyone is to blame for Harry being placed at the  

Dursleys', it's Lily.  The magic she used to protect Harry - an old and
deep magic - required the protection of  her blood, her family.   Petunia was
the only one left of Lily's bloodline - Dumbledore had no choice but  to put
Harry there.  He might have found a way to keep better tabs on him  than
through a muddled Squib, but if the protection engendered by his mother's
sacrifice was to be maintained, it had to be through Petunia.

I  disagree; Dumbledore had a responsibility to protect Harry while he was
at the  Dursleys. Harry could have easily wanted to emulate Voldemort
instead of  wanting to defeat him. Harry could have chose to be a bully just as he
had  been bullied. Dumbledore did nothing to make sure Harry was happy at
the  Dursleys.
