Aw, give Dudley a break. He only sees Harry for what, a month every year, with Harry spending most of his time in his room? How could Dudley know about all the times during the year Harry is useless? I can buy Dudley thinking things over and going, "Huh, Harry can be a jerk, but he did save me from whatever-that-was even though I was being a jerk too. Maybe he's okay sometimes? I guess I should thank him..."
The tea, though, that is still ridiculous. And the giant contradictions about who can do magic where and when. Your Confundus Charm is not working, JKR! We can still figure out that these rules change from page to page!
I wonder what ever happened to the Dursleys after this? For all we know, the Death Eaters had some fun Muggle-baiting with them. I guess we're not supposed to think Muggles matter.
