Corey here. I think Dudley and his gang are just a bunch of teenagers
who don't have any role models and their parents don't pay much
attention to them. As for them being real bad kids, no, they're not
like as bad as say real gangs like the Bloods or crips. Thank god.
Remember this is about Harry, let's not for get. I think Rowling just
throws Dudley and his crew to give Harry something to talk about.
Your fellow member, Corey
