> (2)If the Dursley's are so against anything having to do with
magic, why was Dudley allowed to watch a magician on television? SS 
The Letters From No One: Dudley whining to his mother
 "It's 
Monday... The Great Humberto's on tonight. I want to stay somewhere 
with a television." I may be wrong to think that the Great Humberto 
is a magician but it sounds awfully similar to the Great Houdini. 
Also it sounds as though this were a regiment of Dudley's weekly 
routine. I realize that the Dursley's are more than permissive when 
it comes to Dudley but when it comes to the dirty "M" word and the 
possibility that Harry might be influenced if he were to see the 
magician program, why was Dudley allowed to watch it? (It is the 
small somewhat insignificant details I tend to question)

kitten: I remember not too long ago on this list, this was 
discussed... it was mentioned by someone that "The Great Humberto" 
might have been a nickname for a wrestler (or maybe even a 
boxer)... "The Rock" "Stone Cold Steve Austin" "Andre the 
Giant" "Hulk Hogan" ect. ect. ect. And not a magician
 I really 
liked this idea, because it fits with Dudley's aggressive 
cough*bullying*cough temperament, Dudley would be upset if he 
couldn't watch people fight on television.-g-

kitten... who does like Dudley for some unknown reason... and is 
disapointed that he is as he seems.
