Magda:
Just one teeny, weeny problem with your argument, Lupinlore: the
Dursleys weren't child abusers.  

Alla:

If one defines what they did as child abuse, then yes, they are.


Magda: 
We will know more in the next two books about the arrangements that
Dumbledore made with the Dursleys about keeping Harry, Harry's
protection from both Lily and Dumbledore when he was a baby as well
as other pre-series backstory.  I respectfully suggest we wait until
the end of the series when we know more details before we go at this
whole issue again.

Alla:

I agree that backstory may  and hopefully will give more explanation 
to Dursleys  and Dumbledore behaviour , but whether we have the 
backstory or not, on its own Dursleys actions are horrible enough to 
me. With detailed writing, Dumbledore can be 100% redeemed in my 
eyes, I am not so sure about Dursleys.


Magda (who thought we had a three-a-day rule in force)

Alla, who is also pushing the limit today, but who thought that till 
March 21 the three a day is voluntary. 
Sorry if I am wrong.
