*Vernon Dursley cares about his business and the big order he might get. Caring about money, how depraved! Harry, because despite the fact that he has a pile of gold, is above such sordid things. I know! People who have/want to provide for their families and therefore try to advance their careers are so ridiculous, aren't they? They should all be more like Arthur Weasley and care a bit more about personal integrity an a bit less about whether their children have proper clothing.
*Of course, since Harry has a small fortune to spend as he likes, he doesn't feel too excited about the Dursleys' financial gain. Nope, of course not. That'd actually mean he'd have to think of having some ambition as a good thing. Which it’s not, of course; you should just rely on superior genetics and an extensive network of social connections created for you through the actions of your parents. You know, like we’re supposed to believe Draco Malfoy, does.
*Dudley hitches up his trousers. What, because he's fat, he's too dumb to buy clothes that actually fit him? Doesn't hitching up your trousers imply that they're too big for you, rather than too small? Shouldn't it be Golden Boy pulling up his trousers here...?
*Harry, misses everything about Hogwarts, except Snape. Yeah, Snape: the guy who saved his miserable arse only six months ago. But Snape's a bad teacher who actually has expectations of his students and expects them to work hard. So it's alright.
*Harry should learn from Dudley. "We had a write an essay about our hero, Professor Dumbledore and I wrote about you". It would have got him far in OOtP. Oh, but he does learn in HBP; Dumbledore's Man, remember? And he even tells him, too, only Harry never simpers like Dudley or Umbridge.
