                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. </font></div>

    <font size="2"><font face="Arial"> I agree with you completely.
        I've been following this discussion, and you seem to be the one
        that understands what J.K. was writing about. I've read all the
        books many times now, and even though it might not seem very
        obvious, it's what I get out of these stories as well. Thanks.<br>
