I am new here, and wasn't able to find this topic in the archives; if
it had already been discussed, sorry, indulge me.
Anyone ever theorize re: the end of the Dursleys? After all, LV and
followers are not the only villians in HP. I can imagine a possible
scene in year 7, where a miserable Dudley acknowledges to Harry the
same jealousy he has of him as Petunia had of Lily. Although Petunia
self describes it as hatred, it really is jealousy- how proud her
parents were of the witch in the family.
What I really look forward to, is when Vernon gets his. Of course,
the Dursleys always have some sort of bad event befall them (and
deservedly so) in each book; pig tails, lost drill accounts, ton
tongues and such. But I have an idea for a really spectacular end to
Vernon. In HPatSS, when Griphook opens vault 713, he does it with a
finger swipe, and warns that "if anyone but a Gringotts goblin tired
that, they'd be sucked through the door and trapped in there". Then
in CoS, Harry's thought is that as much as his Uncle Vernon hated the
wizarding world, he didn't think Vernon's loathing would stretch to
his fortune of gold lying under the streets of London.
I have worried from book one that if the Dursleys find out about
Harry's fortune, obviously that will cause a problem. But how
fabulous, if greedy Vernon, somehow forcing Harry to take him to
Gringotts, gets sucked into one of the vaults....an appropriate
punishment, eh?
