"I disagree. I believe Carol recently (or relatively recently) gave 
very good description of the narrator in the books. I don't remember
the correct name for such narrator, but such narrator is not ever 
completely objective."

Del replies:
I never said the narrator was supposed to be objective. We *know*
right from the *beginning* that he is NOT objective : he is prejudiced
against the Dursleys and at the same time he's not bothered by the
abuse they inflict on Harry. Definitely not objective.

"The events are narrated not from Harry POV, BUT for the most part 
narrator only sees events from Harry POV and identifies with him only."

Del replies:
The narrator wasn't identifying with Harry too much when he was
presenting his abuse lightly...
