"Megan" <skater314159 at yahoo.co.uk> replies:

I think his not reading and making bad grades comes from an 
intellectual sort of laziness, and not from having biological, 
psychological or physiological problems that hinders his learning or 
behaving like a normal person <even for a Muggle :) heh heh>

I think Dudley is just a lazy, spoilt rich kid... which is a shame.
