Your argument is all over the place.
De Gea wouldn't do any better than Courtois? Yes, because Chelsea at least has a defense. United's defense was crap for the most of the season, and De Gea got to see a lot of the ball. And he performed excellently. This is exactly why he is on equal footing with Hazard for the POTY award.
"this award is for the best player, not the player who saved his poor defenders."

My question is: what's the difference? De Gea didn't save his defenders. He saved his team. Now you tell me how you would've liked to see a 5-0 loss against Tottenham. Because that's what Hazard did that night. He saved your team from an absolute humiliation. All three goals were caused directly by him. De Gea is the man who stops those humiliations from happening in the first place.
"So many of you are saying that it was a mistake to nominate Hazard for both, when Kane, Coutinho and De Gea have all been nominated for both. Does this mean that you know Hazard will win?"
-
Again, don't paint your player in glory so easily. Coutinho shouldn't have even been nominated with Aguero's performances. Kane is the only one who deserves both nominations, and Hazard and De Gea are much too old for the YPOTY nominations. It's ridiculous and insulting to the other youngsters in the league.
My other serious question is: why isn't Matic nominated? I seriously thought he performed better than Costa throughout the season. Both of them disappeared since 2015, but Matic's form lasted longer and he was more emphatic with his performances.
