I think this would be really interesting. I was fascinated by the exchange involving the dementors, and frustrated that Harry didn't get answers from Petunia about this, and then more frustrated that he hasn't asked any of his witch/wizard friends about this either. They give him the chance to ask questions, and he asks basically one question and that's it. I had a whole list, and the one he asked wasn't at the top, though of course I am not personally worried about Voldemort attacking ME...

I don't buy this. Vernon seems to have no clue about it, why would that be?

After I'd read 2 or 3 chapters, and my son hadn't had a chance to read any yet, I told him that so far, the book had RAISED many more questions than it ANSWERED. This is a major one, so far, though I'm only at chapter 11.
