The only problem with that is that Dudley has already had to have a pig's tail 
surgically removed from his bottom. I would say that counts as some familiarity with 
wizarding ways. I'm still trying to find the reference BetsyHP gave about the ton-
tongue coffee almost smothering him (sorry, don't remember which post it was). 
Quite honestly, if it were Draco Malfoy they would have been just as apt to do 
something like that. I don't think this was any kind of a "racist" issue, but a "bully 
takes the bait" issue.
