[HPFGU-OTChatter] depression and the Dursleys.

storm drifted into a WAY too personal whinge

to which the lovely catlady sympathised ...

thank you catlady ... I will ask the shrink for other drugs. In the interum
complaining about my really quite good if somewhat unappreciated life has made
me feel better. It's such a shame that drugs are not the whole answer. there's
WORK too and I don't like that.

on a HP note why did the Dursely's try so hard to keep Harry? I've though that,
since they didn't want him in the first place they would be pleased to send him
on his way when the call from Hogwarts came. And why do they take him back every
year? Do you think they a. love him in a strange abusive way, b. have a family
loyalty to his genetic relationship to them (if not to him), c. enjoy having a
cheap and moving toy for Dudley to play with or d. something else. Since Cannon
is fairly silent on the Durleys, except the first chapters of book 1, I think
one can theorize wildly on thier motives  ... Anyone?
