Laura:
I agree, and I think this is, in part, a result of DD
coming to the other side of Harry - Harry, the adult. 
He no longer perceives or treats Harry as a child, so
he doesn't have the difference in status any more.  DD
has always had a sense of humor (Nitwit, Blubber, etc.),
but he is now more free to exhibit it around Harry. With
the Dursleys, it somehow seems cathartic for both of
them (Harry and DD) to have him say some of the things
that Harry has long felt - to acknowledge them.  He isn't
really rude, just pointed.
