Polite Dumbledore

Hi all
Not going to directly quote anyone here:
Quite frankly - I don't care whether Dumbledore was being polite or not in
his treatment of the Dursleys.  I LOVED reading this scene!!!  I actually
thought that Dumbledore was being remarkably restrained.  He came inside
(invited or not) because it was  TOO DANGEROUS to remain outside (the WAR
HAS STARTED, people) while he cleared up a few urgent matters with Harry (eg
Harry's inheritance from Sirius,  Kreacher, etc)  Dumbledore could have shut
the Dursleys into the kitchen or turned them into pigs or something, instead
of offering them a seat and a drink.  In effect, he was taking the role of
the host, which Vernon declined to be; and the Dursleys even refused to be
gracious guests.
