*Harry hates going to Mrs Figg’s house. Understandably. He’s got no friends and she’s the only person who seems to try to be friendly to him, but dude, she’s a loser!
Seeing shades of Neville here.
*It’s the Law of Bullies in the Potterverse. When they’re ineffective they create victims. When they’re effective they’re not bullies.
Sort of the Law of Would-Be Killers, too, if you compare fandom's reaction to book 5 Hermione to its reaction to book 6 Draco. :P
*Harry often said Dudley looked like a pig in a wig, by which he meant that Dudley’s moral character was quite flawed.
Snap. Good one. XD You know, maybe it would help if JKR described how repulsive a person was before she described how fat he/she is. I sort of vaguely wonder whether she'll start describe Draco in fanonesque terms if he switches sides in book 7 rather than calling him a ferret. It's like, if you're a bad guy, you can only be pretty when you're doing something 'good', like Narcissa in HPB, but if you're on Team Harry, you're at least normal-looking whether you're acting kindly or like a complete pig.
*Petunia tells Harry the scar came from a car accident. I would have told him the scar came from when some old guy left him lying outside on the ground in the middle of the night for hours and he got molested by a raccoon.
HAHA!
*I love the way Harry’s home is so dreadful and yet everything else is dreadful too. Like, it’s not like he’s found something to like in school or developed a nice relationship with Mrs Figg. The Muggle world just sucks and nothing less than a four poster velvet curtained bed in a castle will do!
Well, of course,he's the WW's Chosen One, don't you know?
