[Lee]:
I have a bad feeling that Draco would try to have his fun with
Dudders...after all, "Big D" isn't a pureblood and might resort to his
ham-like fists even before grabbing this new-found treasure--a wand.  I
could, either fortunately or unfortunately (depending on one's POV) see
Draco with a split lip but Dudders with some awful stuff growing out of his
nose...and I don't mean bogeys, either. <BEG>

However, I think Dudley is a quick study when it comes to learning tricks on
how to fight unfairly, so he'll eventually best Draco.  And, IMO, Harry will
probably watch and snigger as his two main nemeses have at it. :-)

Vernon might, given his personality, continue to work at Grunnings and keep
his mouth closed; it will be the one place where he feels a sense
of--uh--normality.  He can deal with real "normal" people and not have to be
inundated by those horrid magic tricks, etc.

Petunia, I expect, will resignedly play the balancing act, existing in the
wizard world but trying to do things, as much as possible, in a muggle way.

Just my two knuts. :-)

Later,

Lee :-)
