Enligt boken erbjöd Phoenix-ordningen sitt skydd till Dursleys:
Harry Potter: "The Order is sure Voldemort will target you, whether to
torture you to try and find out where I am, or because he thinks by
holding you hostage I'd come and try to rescue you. <...> You've got
to go into hiding and the Order wants to help. You're being offered
serious protection, the best there is." - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, chapter 1
De misstänkte att ministeriet för magi har blivit infiltrerat:
"I thought there was a Ministry of Magic?" asked Vernon Dursley
abruptly. "There is," said Harry, surprised. "Well, then, why can't
they protect us? It seems to me that, as innocent victims, guilty of
nothing more than harboring a marked man, we ought to qualify for
government protection!" Harry laughed; he could not help himself. It
was so very typical of his uncle to put his hopes in the
establishment, even within this world that he despised and mistrusted.
"You heard what Mr. Weasley and Kingsley said," Harry replied. "We
think the Ministry has been infiltrated." - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, chapter 1
Såvitt jag vet finns det ingen information om Dursleys liv under året före Voldemorts fall. Talar om sin framtid, J.K.Rowling har bara bekräftat följande:
"Harry and Dudley would still see each other enough to be on
Christmas-card terms, but they would visit more out of a sense of duty
and sit in silence so that their children could see their cousins." - Open Book Tour, Morning Appearance, NYC, October 19, 2007
Dudley Dursley är därmed levande. Jag antar att andra Dursleys har också överlevt. Efter att Voldemort dog eller en kort tid därefter skulle de kunna återvända hem.
