Steven1965aaa:

I don't see "teasing".  Contrast the Dursleys' behavior with Snape at 
Spinner's end who invites Bella and Narci in, invites them to sit,  
and offers them a drink even though they show up unannounced and 
uninvited.  The Dursleys did none of that so DD did it for them.  And 
unlike Bella and Narci, DD was actually invited into their home - by 
Harry who is after all a member of their family.  Its true that the 
glasses wound up hitting them in the head but as DD said it would have 
been better manners to drink it.  I don't see offering someone a drink 
as "teasing" (although the couch thing was a little rough around the 
edges).
