a_svirn:
Actually they weren't invited. And just as well: what sane muggle 
would invite the twins? A possibility to end up stuck in a canary form 
is too high. But I am genuinely interested about this logic. So if 
Petunia failed to teach Dudley properly, it's OK to use him as an 
unwilling test-subject? It's like saying that rape-victims get what 
they deserve because they fail to behave with maidenly propriety.
