You know, a thought just occurred to me.

In the Dursley household, the rule is "What Dudders wants, Dudders 
gets"---right?  

What if Dudley had taken right to his little cousin from the minute he 
first saw Harry, and damn-well _insisted_ on Harry getting commensurate 
treatment with him?  Would this have resulted in Harry growing up just 
as spoilt as Dudley, or would the Dursleys have throttled back on 
Dudley-spoiling, just to avoid having to spoil Harry too?

--Eric Oppen, who thinks about alternate outcomes a bit too much for 
his own good.
