Today's Los Angeles Times has an interview with JKR. Nothing startling, 
but she had this to say about Dudley.

Recently she was asked why Harry's cousin, Dudley Dursley                                                              
was so fat. Rowling laughed. "I was told it would be politically 
incorrect to have a child so large," she said. "My response was that 
this was about abuse. It was abusive that the people around him are 
feeding him not only with their putrid ideas, but with food, like a 
goose. He's a victim of  his parents."
