 The morning that Petunia discovers Harry on her doorstep, she makes a decision:

+Lily would not have left Harry to her without also leaving her some monetary
 compensation. She remembers the Goblins, and makes her way to Gringotts,
-demanding to see the will. The Goblins find a clause:
-
-"Our son, Harry Potter, is to be left to the care of whomsoever the Goblins of
-Gringotts find best suited to raise him."
+demanding to see the will. The Goblins find that she is not rightful guardian,
+and that they are to place him according to whomsoever they find best suited.
 
 Petunia is sent on her way (with a small token or something from the will).
 Obviously, no-one in the Wizarding world would be *best* suited to raise Harry;
 they'd raise him as a *Wizard*, and Wizards are (in the minds of Goblins) all
 terrible people. The Goblins raise Harry as one of their own.

+I'd really like to aim for 3500 words on each chapter. If I can maintain at
