Betsy Hp:
But the thing that's been bothering me is that if the muggle family attacked
by Death Eaters a few days later had been the Dursleys, Harry would have
been amused at that point too.    (snip)


Sherry now:

I do not believe Harry would have found it funny if the Dursleys had been
the muggles tormented at the world cup.  Remember how he saved Dudley from
the dementors?  Sure, dementors are far worse than being flipped upside
down, but I think Harry would have been very uncomfortable and unhappy and
disgusted if it had happened to the Dursleys.  He didn't even think it was
funny when it happened to Snape as done by James in the pensieve memory.  I
think there is hope for Harry, and he's not as blasé as you might think.
