Perhaps a very simple question?

Hi all, Which I realize may have been answered before, so I am sorry in advance if such is the case. I have just this afternoon finished reading one of the more extensive bits of fan fiction. Its called The Dangerous Universe series, and I cannot recommend it enough, although you must stick with it, if not swiftly caught up in the story, easy truth be told I am no judge of course, it is only the second such series I have finished so far. In any case, something that happens in this alternative telling got me wondering. Why did not Voldemort just kill Petunia to reach Harry? Certainly, even though they treated Harry beyond terribly, their presence serves some important purposes for the writer, for the story. Still, it would have been rather easy to remove that haven for Harry would it not? Thoughts if anyone wants to discuss. Frankly reading this surprisingly detailed effort has me likely planning yet another read of the novels themselves smiles. That and starting one of the other fan fiction pieces provided me by a list member as well. On a personal note, my sincere thanks to those who did this for me off list. All the options helped me manage a particularly challenging holiday season in a fashion that might not have otherwise been possible. cheers, Kare
