That is an interesting scenario. No doubt about the love part, I am
sure they would be very loving parents to both. However, I have to
question the part about the discipline. We have absolutely no
knowledge about the type of parents they were, except that they love
Harry so much that they gave their life for him. But having a
comfortable economical situation, and seeing the kind of spoilt kid
James was himself as a teenager... it makes me have second thoughts
about how "disciplined" they would have raised either Harry or Dudley.

I am not disagreeing, I am just questioning it.
