I guess my thing was then why did she never give the "fat lady" a
name? If she is so accepting of differences, why was she always just
the "fat lady"? And Duddley was called a lot of names, not by Harry,
but by JK in the writings. Yes, Duddley wasn't a nice boy for a long
time but the rude things weren't said about his personality, they were
said about his weight. Carol
