I just looked at that part of the chapter and McG in fact says "his heart's in the right place", so I'll stick with that theory Also, how difficult could it be to carry a baby from Godric's Hollow to Surrey? As long as he didn't drop Harry, Hagrid could hardly go wrong...

That's true. I suppose they might have died in the period between Harry's birth and the Potters' deaths - it would be interesting to know if Lily's parents died naturally or not.

i don't think we'll ever know now (unless Patunia reveals everything to harry at the beginning of the 7th book).

they probably finished up over what would've been the break or something. DD would've found a solution, i'm sure.

plus ...you gotta remember it's a whole different muggle world sans magic!!! She may well find it as fascinating as Mr weasly does! To her it may be as absorbing as a griddler or nanogram or crossword puzzle or somesuch! I always took that to be a subtle touch to help develop the dual but convergant worlds they live in simultaneously. best, BB |

yes, to a degree i agree with Sun Star ... (...don't mention the W word...) but mainly it is for setting the scene in a matter of a few words and also for comic effect ...we have the overly large brusque overbearing eejit, the thin, neurotic and pompusly named petunia ...and the pig like, spoilt, only child of stooopid pompous, faux middle class ... a few well placed words and we are reading in meanings and shape and form already. I call that good writing. Go see Big C's 'hook' thread! Same principle. Of course the main point is to show up their 'normality' and their insistent desire to cling to it and their desire let it shut them up in a suburban sized narrow box .... as against the parallel of harry and the world of Wizards ... and the hypocrosy of their wanting to "normalize" harry .. best, BB |

What was Mrs Dursley doing that day?
Maybe she was replying to letters dd sent her, and shouting 'won't' all the time, hense how dudly learnt a new word, plus why she was so uptight that night.

The significance of the statement that dd has powerful powers, but is too nobal to use them may mean that he has studied the dark arts, to understand the effects and get an idea of what voldy and the death eaters would use, but won't actually use them because he's fighting for the side of good.
