*Kimberly's comments*
Actually, as for Hagrid making a pig's tail sprout from Dudley's bottom, he was trying to turn him into a pig so he wasn't really successful at that.    

 
SS, Amer. Ed., pg. 59
"Shoudn'ta lost me temper," he said ruefully,  "but it didn't work anyway.   Meant ter turn him into a pig, but I suppose he was so much like a pig anyway that there wasn't much left ter do."

Hmmm, I guess one could surmise that whether or not it was successful depends on how you read that text.    I think that Post-pig-tail Dudley, he is not entirely pig like so Hagrid's spell only worked partially.

Kimberly, who is about 300 pages away from finishing the series for the 5th time and still feels like I know very little
