This isn't how exchange programs work. If she's living with the Dursleys as part of a homestay, then it's got nothing to do with the government and would only happen if they volunteered for it, which they wouldn't. And she would not be a 'foster child', she'd be a lodger. That's all.

Why is it necessary for her to have a prophecy about her too? I hate it when suethors use that in stories.

Yeah, the government would only force people to take in people if it was an emergency (like moving children out of London during WWII. An exchange program doesn't warrant trampling someone's civil rights.
Even ignoring that, the Dursleys don't have room for her.
In theory, Harry and Dudley could double up, but the second chapter makes it clear that Harry still has his own room. It never bothers to say where Giselle is sleeping.

I wish the writer would do their research because that bit of information is one of the easiest to find out.

As for the prophesy... that whole thing is to make her even more special then she actually is.

[beacon80]

Wow, she's shallow. I mean, yeah, the Dursleys aren't exactly great people, but she hasn't even spoken to them before she's making judgements. Hell, the first thing she does is compare Vernon to Hitler, despite his moustache being a completely different style and color.

And that seeress is a complete idiot. I mean, she supports Harry, so why is she giving Voldemort critical information?

[rodentfanatic]

Agreed, she's pretty judgey regarding appearances, it doesn't make her come off well at all just because the *readers* know these are bad people.

[yemi_hikari]

Not to mention the fact the Dursley family would be going out of their way to make themselves look good rather then bad.

... 'cause the Sue needs a plot hole to fill or not fill.
