worldviews beyond the garbage they've been shown."

Del replies :
Reading your post made me realise something : could it be that Harry
didn't stick to the Dursley model simply because it was
*inconsistent*? He could see that he was treated differently than
Dudley and of course he didn't like it because he was systematically
on the wrong end of that system.

But what if he had been treated the same way as Dudley ? What if the
Dursleys had been consistent in their treatment of the 2 boys ? Can we
be sure that Harry would have rejected that model, and Draco because
of it ?
