                          <p>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<br>
