"While I liked Dudley making a token gesture to Harry, it came out of nowhere and was hard to swallow. Some development, please and thank you?"

I wanted some, too, but I think it was just a secret desire of mine's that Harry and the Dursleys would patch up in SOME way. Out of all the people, I had assumed it'd be Petunia, but she had years to accept the wizarding world, so she's had her chance. In the end, I am glad it was Dudley. I think a boy Harry's age, the one who gave him the most physical abuse ultimately learned to somewhat accept him.

"Meanwhile, I barely knew Mad-Eye enough for his death to be more than a blimp or a passing thought of, "aw, man, that guy was cool!"

I didn't care for Moody either. I was more shocked on two deaths so ridiculously early in the story, is all.
