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?
