bboyminn:

According to Ron, Ron and Hermione are going to be with Harry at the
Dursley's house. Please, you must see the comic come-uppance potential
in that? 

I know, or at least it seems, that Lupinlore wants a direct accounting
of people's actions, but I think it is going to be more subtle than
that. The Dursleys will once again be put in their place, but not by
being held accountable for their actions, but, as we have discussed,
by a Karmic twist of fate and circumstances. 

Just having Ron and Hermione there at the Dursley will be torturous
enough for the Dursleys, but when Ron and Hermione expect civilized
treatment that will just be too much. The frustration and intimidation
alone represent a good deal of Karmic justice in my book. And if
Privet Drive is attacked, and the Dursleys are forced to seek refuge
at 12 Grimmauld Place, then I will be a happy camper. The will be
justice enough for me.

Just passing it along.
