Then, as I say, JKR will have failed in an abominable and 
reprehensible manner by approving of child abuse.  I won't really be 
disappointed, as I rather expect her to fail in such an abominable 
and contemptible fashion.  But, as you say, gardens do need mulch.

But how do you expect things to end?  What do you think would be 
appropriate?  Surely you don't think that the Dursleys, Umbridge, and 
Snape can go unpunished for their reprehensible crimes against Harry 
and the series will still have a moral leg to stand on?
