> Carol notes:
> A small point here. Harry isn't remembering when he was left in 
hisroom and being fed cold soup through the door slot; he's 
remembering when the whole family--Vernon and Petunia included--went 
on Dudley's grapefruit diet. That wasn't abuse, exactly. It was 
Petunia's idea of helping Dudley accept his deprivation by having 
others share his misery.


Alla:

I think it is understandable that he remembers the incident (or the 
whole summer being hungry), which happened last summer, not what 
happened two years ago, even though I doubt that he completely 
forgot it. 

And I don't know, Harry did not need this diet, I think it could be 
called abuse. but it is JMO, of course.
