Because.. dude, he pwned. He owned Draco so bad. Draco couldn't even say "thank you". At least Dudley was mature. And friendly. And was randomly like, in a leather jacket (which made me fear for our fandom, guys ^_^). Now, I wanted more details on the dementors/Dudley.
I loved Petunia-details! I wanted more!
I wanted to know if they were all right! I assumed they were fine; Dudley had packed his weights after all. ^_^
I mean.. she would've said if they died, right!!!?
I wanted more. But I was pleased with what I got. I liked that he made the effort -- after the complete lack of mention in HBP, I was rather worried she'd leave him tarred with the same brush as his parents -- and I liked that Harry completely understood what he was trying to say.
I thought the apparent twin-ness of Pet and Lily explained their relationship a bit (though I was bewildered as to why, if they were so estranged, Petunia would send Lily a vase for Christmas, ugly or not) but I would like to have seen more acknowledgment from Petunia. I thought it was really interesting that Snape was the "awful boy" Pet mentioned in OotP, though, when we all assumed it was James :)
And I think Dudley-in-a-leather-jacket is far closer to my mental picture than Dudley-in-a-Nike-jersey-and-bling from OotP ;)
(And why, I ask you, wasn't he standing uncomfortably at the platform with his Muggle-born child in the epilogue? :P)
I guess... I mean, clearly that was the side effect, but a highlights video of Harry Hunting just seems so vague. I would really like to know what exactly he saw... if there was a barely-remembered event that just horrified him in the reliving... because he was so badly affected, I feel like it must've been bigger, badder and more specific than, say, Ron's "I felt like I'd never be cheerful again."
If there's an encyclopedia-style book, like I've heard hinted, Dudley's Dementorvision will be one of the first things I look for.
Totally! ew.. It makes me mad she didn't write that!!! Because Dudley was SO affected by it.. puking everywhere and stuff. He really changed his life around, too.

Well, god, because that is just TOO obvious. =) Ah, that made me HAPPY. And... it would have been a wonderful touch. Why wasn't it in there???
I loved seeing Chavy-Nike Dudley at fifteen and now sorta-suave "I Work Out!" leatherdaddy Dudley at seventeen.. he's moving on up!
Can we assume his dementor showed him what an awful relationship he'd had with wittle Harry?
