If you clipped the first part of the scene in the alleyway and put it in a 
Pensieve, how different would it be from James's bullying of Snape?  Harry is 
picking on Dudley. We are so used to Dudley picking on Harry, do we realize how 
cruelly Harry is behaving? 

How parallel is this scene anyway? I'd like to hear from others about this.
