RE: 2. Why do you think Vernon tried to prevent Harry's escape? If he feels Harry is such a burden and freak, why not let him go?

 I agree with the previous post that Vernon needs to control Harry. There are people in the world who are simply not content unless they control, suppress or completely stamp out that which they disapprove of. It stems from fear, of course.


RE: 5. What did you think of the Weasley home and the family dynamic?

 The Weasleys are a big, happy, mostly disorganized family dealing with whatever happens to them as it happens. Their world is filled with love and happy chaos and they thrive on it.


RE: 9. From this chapter on, the burrow becomes one of Harry's favorite places, and the Weasleys become his favorite family. What do you think draws Harry so much to this quirky home and family?

 Harry loves these people because he feels the love that pours out from them, and because they are so completely unlike anyone he as ever encountered before. In a family like that the unusual, especially anything as unusual as Harry, is excepted right along with all the other unusual things that happen of a typical day.
