*Harry receives his first ever letter. It’s addressed to the cupboard under the stairs, in case you wondered if Dumbledore wasn’t aware of how Harry was treated. Too bad it wasn’t addressed to "The Child Nobody Loves at 4 Privet Drive."
Yeah, well, otherwise how will Harry ever love and appreciate the magical world enough to save it? Not that that's manipulation or anything. I love that Dumbledore shows up in book 6 all iron fist of justice when really, he's just as guilty for Harry's mistreatment for standing by and doing nothing while it happened when he could have just started up with the muggle-baiting back in the day. Sort of like the way he stood by and watched another little orphaned boy...
*She was probably lulled into a false sense of security by thinking if the house was being watched they wouldn’t let her abuse the small child inside it. But no, they just need the kid alive. Peripheral abuse is fine.
Sounds like Gryffindor to me more than anything. If it had been Draco under Snape's charge, the Dursleys would have been in a world of hurt by now. You know, if not dead. :D
*One might think a boy in Harry’s position might have become a big reader for the imaginative escape, but remember he’s only got access to Muggle books, and they must suck.
Also, imagination is evil and only for those Slytherin scum like Snape and Draco. Plotting and scheming's all it's good for, remember?
*And we know it’s not fanfic because Dudley and Harry are in twin beds.
HA, win!
*The inside of the shack was horrible, for a change of pace. Too bad The Wizard of Oz already took the idea of using black and white to show how dull the mundane world is or the HP movies could have used it to drive that point home.

Hey, that never stopped the makers of The O.C.
