Hi:

Decided I should add my own thoughts to Chapter 3

RE: whether JKR has some prejudice against heavier people. I don't really
think so, since, as someone else said, Mrs. Weasley is a good kind person
who happens to be carrying around a few more pounds than she needs. But,
my husband does think JKR has some weird obsession with food so maybe
it extends to weight as well. <g>

I thought the Dudley on a diet bit was all rather humorous.

I thought this chapter was largely quite funny. Harry has definitely
come into some self-confidence, and so I found this brief glimpse of the
Dursleys in GoF to be really amusing more than anything. In the past,
I've always reacted rather indignantly at their treatment of Harry. But,
I think Harry is holding his own more & more. I *loved* that he was
using Sirius as a "stick" to get more fair treatment (or what he wants)!
