If we get to pick a Python for Uncle Vernon, how about Michael Palin?  He is 
normally very cuddly (not with that Cleese edge) but he can do that 
turning-purple-with-apoplectic-rage thing very well.  The retreat to the 
Hut-on-the-Rock, in fact, has a Palinesque, Pythonesque quality to it--MP as 
VD keeps coming up with new schemes, getting a little purpler and a little 
shriller each time, til he has his family holed up in a hut in a raging 
storm and he's got steam coming out of his ears.
