Dumbledore on the Dursleys in OotP

[H.M.S]

No: HPFGUIDX 151362

Snipped from Alla:
"Petunia is the only mother figure he knew for ten years. I think it would
be strange if the child would not want the love from mother figure, no
matter how horribly she treated him."

Sharon now:
This reminds me of a line or 2 from the movie "Ever After"
Danielle (the Cinderella character) says in tears something like to her
stepmother " was there ever a time, in its smallest particle that you ever
loved me like a mother?"
The Baroness's reply: "how could I love a pebble in my shoe?"
Ouch - nasty!  I see the same attitude in the Dursleys.
