   One of the things that I contemplate about the HP books is the 
fact that the Dursleys have yet to receive any retribution for the 
years of abuse that put Harry though.  Vernon and Petunia, hell 
Dudley too, should be in jail for what they've done. One of the 
things that I hope for in Book7 is the Dursleys finally facing some 
justice.
