snip!

Actually, it's a week after his birthday in PoA: Aunt Marge arrives 
on his birthday and Vernon announces that she is staying for a week; 
Harry makes his pact with Vernon to try to act normal in order to 
secure the Hogsmeade permission slip, and he manages to make it to 
the last day of her stay by thinking of his Handbook of DIY 
Broomcare whenever Marge is being foul to him...

UK Ed p19: '"Marge'll be here for a week," Uncle Vernon snarled...'
p25: ' At last, at long last, the final evening of Marge's stay 
arrived...'
