Like most of the opening night audience that saw it with me, I found 
the Aunt Marge scene to be incredibly funny, and saw nothing 
disturbing about it at all. I would have a hard time drawing a 
parallel to the aforementioned scene from GoF, because what happened 
there was the unprovoked torture and persecution of innocent 
bystanders (the Roberts family.) What happened with Aunt Marge was 
not something that Harry did intentionally...and besides, she 
probably deserved it anyway.
