[HPFGU-OTChatter] what if?? Culture shock

What If??

We have had several posts talking about the Dursleys ending up in the Wizarding World at the beginning of the next book.  There have been many theories as to how they end up there and where they go.  Let's play "what if" now and take it a step further.  Reguardless of how they get there, imagine the culture shock!!

They go from being in charge of this nobody orphan who is living on their good graces.  Now they are living off a kid with money....lots and lots of money.  Further more, this kid is famous and highly respected.  He is smart and admired.  Strangers know him.  He is talented and powerful.  What would each of their reactions be?

Suppose Dudley does end up as the one who learns magic late, would he end up at Hogwarts?  In which house?

How is Vernon going to handle all of the magic and strangeness going on?  What about Petunia?  How is Vernon going to handle Dudley being magical if he is?

If Vernon settles in and makes a kind of peace with what is going on, what is he going to do for a living or to contribute?  I know people like Vernon.  It will chap him horribly to be dependent on others (I am like this as well) so he is going to want to get a little bit of control back into his life.  The best way to go about this is to find something useful to do.  What will he end up doing?

I saw a post (sorry that I do not remember all of the names - or any of them - beat me if you must!!) recently that jokingly said that Petunia would have found her life fulfilled in cleaning up #12.  Would she actually settle in the better of the three into the new world that they end up in?

What about Dudley.  He will not only not be "big man on campus" but can you see him tangling with Malfoy and his cronies!!  (I almost feel sorry for him)

Just someone who likes to play the "what if" game when standing in line at Home Depot!!
