* Though it never actually comes down to it, the hypothetical potential for this is implied early in ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows'', when Harry is trying to impart to his obstinate Uncle Vernon the importance of him and his wife and son going into hiding under wizard protection. Harry brings up the likelihood that, as his only living family (however begrudging that is), they would be targets for the villains, either to torture them for information on Harry's whereabouts, and/or to use them as bait in hopes that Harry would try to rescue them. He and Vernon meet eyes after he says this, and Harry gets the impression that in that moment "they were both wondering the exact same thing."
