I am wondering if Harry's increased confidence in interacting w/ Petunia and 
Vernon is going to include some frank discussions. In OoP he is ready to defy 
them...but still protects Dudley so there has to be some respect  there. My next 
thought wanders to Dudley &  Harry.  How will their relationship change? I am 
also pacing waiting to see what happens  in book six.  So many cliff hangers.  
Is there a tenative date for realse of  book six?
