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...
That is the kookiest thing--he was really taking a chance there trusting Harry not to point out that the Dursleys were all his idea and he tacitly approved their treatment for years, so maybe he's not the right person to scold them.
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
Though the Gryffindors do enjoy threatening the Dursley at times in the future (or in the next chapter). They must be kicking themselves at neglecting these juicy targets for self-righteous bullying!
Also, imagination is evil and only for those Slytherin scum like Snape and Draco. Plotting and scheming's all it's good for, remember?
Sure do--and if I didn't I believe Draco will be telling long make-believe stories in a later chapter.
