(*sighs*) I hear you. I was detesting the Dursleys like a good little Dursley-detesting sheep at this point. They were evil and standing in the way of fun and magic and the meeting of quirky, excentric people! They were clearly Banality Incarnate and deserved whatever pig-related mishaps universal justice could inflict on them! =]
Out of curiosity, do you remember when you did start to feel that the narrator might not be entirely objective? For me, it was the Quidditch World Cup, the Veelas, and "That's why you shouldn't go for looks alone." I don't know why that line disturbed me so much, but for whatever reason, that was when my every instinct started screaming "danger! Beware! Take heed! This book is being written by a Dursley!" =]
