Doreen -
 Funny you should mention Dudley.  I read in a JKR interview that 
Harry has not *yet* used magic on Dudley.  She then said "Hint hint".  
When you mentioned Dudley possibly becoming a wizard, it reminded me 
also that JKR said that someone will use magic without wands or 
lessons.  Perhaps Dudley will somehow discover wizard blood in him too 
and he and Harry will have some interesting interactions.

Really, though, I hope Harry will use magic on an unarmed Dudley 
(though his diet seems a torturous enough punishment :-P ).

indignantly.
"No, we gave it to him because he's a great bullying git," said 
George.
