This is a possibility, although I took the above referenced passage as simply being a parent (who probably knows that their child is somewhat spoiled) reacting to the verbalized possibility that they have been in some way not doing the best for their child.  It may very well be one of the Dursleys who comes to magic late in life or Dudley's friend Piers Polkiss also springs to mind.
