 Petunia is a squib I tell you, A SQUIB!!!  She's very bitter and has convinced herself that her sister was the one who was freak!

Who cares?  Just kidding (not that I DO care, but good question)  Swam?  Magicked by Dumbledore?  Maybe Hagrid magically sent the boat back to them?

Distant cousin?  Weird desire to hold onto SOMETHING familiar to him?  Only point of reference so far?  ALL fat boys look like Dudders?!

Some details just left out becuase they have no impact on the story.  Took Draco longer cause he's a picky, snobby, selfish, impossible child.  Nothing was pleasing him!  HIS robes had to be lined with satin.  "None have it?  Well, put it in for me!!"

Do they NEED tickets?  Is there mention of anyone collecting them?  Maybe their letter of acceptance to the school is all they need?
