Two things I wonder about: (a) if they'd met under any other
circumstances as children (say, if Harry's parents hadn't died and it
had been a family visit) would Harry and Dudley have got along at

example?) (b) How on earth did Harry grow up with good manners in
such a household?

Just as soon as I finish this Auror story, I promise. The Lodger
