Polite Dumbledore - Assumptions of Courtesy

[H.M.S]

No: HPFGUIDX 142774

Steve/bboyminn:
"Expanding on that, I think if Harry had told the Dursleys that Dumbledore
was coming, they would have had
time to mentally prepare, and would have responded better; not necessarily
with courtesy, but at least, responded better"

Sharon now:
I think you're correct here, but their response would have been to attempt
to barricade the house, rather like Vernon trying to keep the letters to
Harry out (PS).  It would have been totally ineffectual against Dumbledore,
of course, possible very funny to read about, but would have contributed to
the waste of time factor.

Steve/bboyminn again
"Just one man's opinion."

Sharon again:
I think you have captured my train of thought very well, thank you Steve, so
add me to your list
