I'm with you on this. I can see a way, to bring him back...if 
necessary.

I think Dudley is more Squibb than wizard at this point. But you 
could be correct about the wizarding tendancies. Whereas Neville's 
powers are hindered by his lack of confidence, Dudley's could be 
inhibited by the anti-magic attitude of the Dursleys. 

I would like to see if Petunia has a change of attitude. She did seem 
fearful for Harry when she learned Voldemort was back. 

Actually, I think it's rather interesting that Harry has two people 
(Petunia and Snape) loathing him because they loathed either or both 
of his parents. Dumbledore chalks up Snape's loathing as a "rivalry". 
I've no doubt that Petunia's loathing resulted from rivalry too. 
Remember how she said her parents were happy that Lily was a witch? 
Pity they don't see Harry is Harry and not Lily or James.....
