Jen: They are quite the duo, aren't they? Hermione's inquiring mind 
never lets her rest and Harry....Harry has not a curious bone in his 
body. I nearly fell over in amazement when he questioned, no  
*interrogated* Aunt Petunia about the Howler in OOTP. 

No more Mr. Nice-Guy, from this point on Harry is stepping up to the 
plate. He's going to start demanding some answers in Book 6, 
starting with the Dursleys and ending with Dumbledore. I almost feel 
sorry for them, except they brought it on themselves after years of 
silence. Hehe.

tell about it.
