Tonks now:
I am not saying that the Dursley's are wonderful people.  I am 
saying that they are not as terrible as everyone thinks that they 
are.  Harry hasn't had much in the way of material things and 
material things do not mean anything to him as a result. That is not 
a bad thing; in fact in some circles it is a very good thing.  Harry 
is alive and well, so he was not starved. Harry is not a fat, little 
indulged pig like Dudley, and that is a very good thing.


Alla:

Yes, he was starved , A LOT, in fact. I quoted canon on it many 
times, so if you would like me to cite it again, tell me. And 
besides not having much of material things, Harry was deprived of 
spiritual things - namely love and that is NOT a good thing in my 
book at all.

 
Tonks now:
Again this is the anger that some people feel toward God at times. 
And DD had to put Harry with Patunia to protect Harry, it was the 
only way.

Alla:

NO, sorry, to me it is the kind of anger at the character , who 
decided to play G-d. 


Nicky Joe said:
Sending Harry back to the Dursleys instead of letting him stay at 
Grimmauld Place with Sirius was the icing on that little cake.  And 
people wonder why Harry had a bit of anger going in OoP.


Alla:

I don't wonder about it at all. I would wonder if he would not have 
been angry in OOP.

Harry stays at the Dursley's because that is his home and must 
continue to be his home for his own protection. As to Harry's anger 
in the beginning of OoP, that is his post tramatic stress reaction 
to the experience in the graveyard and the death of Cedric.

Alla:

It is most certainly PTSD to graveyard events, IMO, but I also 
consider it to be reaction to Dursleys' abuse.


Just my opinion,

Alla
