An errant question (HP-related):

[aruan]

Has anyone theorized about the possibility of viable alternatives to Harry's staying with the Dursleys after his parents were killed by Voldemort? Sirius was as good as in Azkaban by the time Harry's custody became an issue, and given Remus' condition and his myriad difficulties because of it, there really was no feasible way he could've provided a home for Harry. Asking anyone else would've put them in much too much jeopardy for a lifetime. Dumbledore, I suppose, would've been an alternative, but right now, I don't want him anywhere near Harry again, much less as his primary caregiver. So, theories?
