Dear Professor Dumbledore
Are you quite sure that Mr. Potter's guardians are satisfactory?
The letter I received from them is very worrisome, and I think it may be prudent to have them investigated.
Have you encountered any suspicious behavior from them in the past? Has Mr. Potter ever expressed his feelings for his guardians to you or any of your staff?
I see no reason to let this matter 'slide' for if the investigation does turn up signs of the Dursley family being inappropriate guardians, then I am very sure that there are plenty of other more affectionate families who would be happy to care for him, and keep his well being in mind.
They did send a signed permission slip, and while I would like to dispute the validness of the permission slip, pending a investigation into the Dursley household, I cannot stop you from ill advisedly allowing him in the tournament.
I really am aghast at you. Professor Moody has informed me it was not a joke, (although your skirting around the subject in your last letter might have clued me in) and I witnessed him using the imperious curse on second year students. Needless to say, I attempted to stop him, and had a very unflattering argument with him in front of his class. I do apologize for that, it was very unprofessional of me to speak with him about it in the classroom, I should have taken it outside.
Putting aside that it is not safe or legal at all that you have allowed someone to use curses that would regularly get you sent to prison on underage wizards that you have been entrusted to keep safe during the school year, this is another case of no consent from the parent/s or legal guardian/s.
I read the standard letter you send to all of the possible students every school year, and nowhere in it does it inform you of the possibility of the student being cursed by a teacher, or a request for permission to do so.
Though this is certainly not directed at you personally, what sort of school is it that allows unforgivable curses to be placed on students without consent from a parent or guardian, but requires it for a stroll down into a neighboring town?
Not that I am suggesting you no longer require consent forms for trips to Hogsmeade. It just confuses me.
