Pippin previously: 
It occurs to me that if ten year old Harry is in his cupboard all 
the  time,  the only reason there are spiders in there is because 
Harry tolerates them -- otherwise he could sweep them out. 

Lupinlore: 
Only if permitted to do so by the Dursleys.
 
Pippin:
Since Harry does the cleaning, according to CoS where he says 
he's had plenty of practice with the Dursleys, he has access to a 
broom --  I was amused by Alla's protest that Harry wouldn't be 
able to get rid of the spiders by magic. Who needs  magic to 
sweep out spiders?  Also, since Petunia certainly wouldn't 
tolerate spiders anywhere else in her house, it's really hard to 
see where more spiders would come from, once Harry had got 
rid of them. Another mystery <g>



Alla:

LOLOL! Pippin. That is true. For some reason I was only thinking 
about magical possibility of getting spiders out. Don't ask me why, 
because I would not know the answer. :)

I think Lupinlore has a point though. Dursleys told Harry what to 
clean and where to clean, right? Do you think they would permit him 
to make his living conditions more tolerable even if it involves his 
labor only? I think they would not allow that if only out of spite, 
JMO.

I hope you are enjoying the holidays.


Best,
