Bryce, 
I would guess that you don't have children,  A child that is shown love and 
compassion this would be a mistake by a parent that was stressed but for 
Harry it is just another form of abuse  The dursleys not only neglected Harry 
but abused him.  I am surprised that Harry is as well adjusted as he is.  He 
has lived all his life being told he is nothing and shown he is not worth 
having around yet and no one wants him.   He some how overcomes it to have 
deep meaningful relationships with people.  I am surprised he is not in 
magical therapy  :)
