>>>Somebody (forgive me - I can't remember who) said that they thought
that JKR had some kind of a prejudice against larger people....I don't
think its meant to poke fun at larger people, just incredibly greedy,
uncaring, unsharing people, like the Dursleys.
I would tend to agree with this. After all, the Dursleys are so disgusting
because they are greedy, selfish pigs, but not all of them are fat --
Petunia Dursley is thin, but JKR describes as just as contemptible-looking
as her husband and kid. And Molly Weasley, who clearly is NOT thin,
is always described in a very positive way. And Harry gets annoyed at
Vernon Dursley for calling Molly Weasley fat.
