Redeemed!Dudley?

[herm - own - ninny]

I came upon this quote from JKR when reading the summery of 'things we know 
about OOP' from Book 
Magazine(http://www.bookmagazine.com/issue28/unfogging.shtml)

"Also, fans should keep an eye on [their son] Dudley. It's probably too late 
for Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon. I feel sorry for Dudley. I might joke 
about him, but I feel truly sorry for him because I see him as just as 
abused as Harry."

I know there's been a lot of talk about Redeemed!Draco, but this quote just 
screams Redeemed!Dudley to me. The fact that JKR tells us to keep an eye on 
him, and then says it's too late for Vernon and Petunia, implies that it's 
not too late for Dudley. Not that I necesarily want Dudley redeemed - he's 
no Draco Malfoy that's for sure <g>. But it's a thought, and something I've 
never even begun to consider. I mean, as it stands Dudley is a very minor 
character. We see him at the beginning of each book and usually forget about 
him the rest of time. What can he possibly do that'll be worth keeping an 
eye on?
