Oh, I hope not.  I've really enjoyed the gradual shift in power from
the Dursleys to Harry through the books, aided and abetted by Harry's
WW friends (the one who wrote "Harry Potter, the Cupboard Under the
Stairs..." on the Hogwarts letter, Sirius, the King's Cross sendoff
party).  I'm really hoping to see Harry come of age at Privet Drive,
and give the Dursleys to know that he's allowed to do magic now, and
at last have *all* the power in the relationship.  I'd like to see him
shame them in how he uses (or doesn't use) it.

Just my personal opinion!  :-)
