Just one comment: you seem to have stated pretty well what I thought about
Dudley, and tried to say---that his size is not the focus, it's a by-product
of his character. The despicable thing about him is why/how he got that way,
not the simple fact that he *is* fat. I still think any little overweight
kids who read the book will understand that Dudley is awful because he's
Dudley, not because he's fat.

Oh, and anyone else think Val Kilmer would have been a great Lockhart? Alas,
he's not British.
