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.
