Questions/Ideas Brought On By HBP

(Here's hoping this goes through this time)
 
There are a few questions/ideas I have. Some of them deal with events  in
other books, but I've brought attention to them because of how they  are
linked
to HPB

One question I have is:  What did Dudley  hear when he and Harry were
attacked by dementors in OotP?

I think the  part in Chapter three of HBP where Dumbledore says that
Vernon
and Petunia  have mistreated Dudley might be a clue...but I don't know
if   this
will ever be answered.

Another thing I've been wondering  is:  Did Lucius love Narcissa (and
visa
versa), or was it more of a  marriage of convenience?

I've always had the imagined that Lucius  Malfoy's private life was
fashioned
entirely for the purpose of having a  respectable front.  Even the
birth of
Draco (If he had a son, he  would be seen as a family man).

I had previously thought the same of  Narcissa, but my mind has changed
on
that since reading HBP.  She  seems to really love her family, or at
least   her
son.

Also,  Will Harry do something to help Draco/The  Malfoys?  Or,  will
Draco go
to the Order for Help?

And,  finally, in Chapter 28 Snape says,

"Blocked again and again and again  until you learn to keep your mouth
shut and
your mind closed, Potter!" (pg  603)

Was he giving Harry advice?  I didn't think much of it until I  started
reading the "Dumbledore planned for Snape to kill him"  theories.  I
honestly
thought, at first, that Snape really was evil  and killed Dumbledore
with malicious
intent.  Then the above quote  seemed more like a  taunt.  Now though,
if it
was all planned,  could it be that Snape was  giving Harry advice on how
to
battle  Voldemort?

Well...that's all I've got to  say.
