*laughs* Penny and Josh, Lori Summers and I have been compiling a 
list of the funny things Harry says (and thinks, since we are privy 
to his inner monologue) in canon; we got tired of being told that 
Harry is "boring and not funny." She's got the list, but IIRC, just 
from the second chapter of PS,

"Aunt Petunia often said that Dudley looked like a baby angel -- 
Harry often said that Dudley looked like a pig in a wig."

And

"They stuff people's heads down the toilet the first day at 
Stonewall," Dudley told Harry. "Want to come upstairs and practice?"

"No, thanks," said Harry, "the poor toilet's never had anything as 
horrible as your head down it -- it might be sick." Then he ran 
before Dudley could work out what he'd said.


I recall on first read, *both* those passages made me laugh.
