    That conversation Dudley had with Harry before he left, telling him he doesn't think hes a waste of space meant so much more to Harry than any of them realized. Honestly it's kind of moving. I wish they had kept it in the film

    • @AnthonyBrown12324
      @AnthonyBrown12324 Год назад +26

      yes , it is optimistic . showing people can change . Some people do change their views ; when they see the light . Dudley as a child was poisoned by his father ; who was bigoted ; probably beyond redemption but sometimes growing up and getting outside views and perhaps starting to form their own opinions . Malfoy too was beginning to see Harry was not what his father was saying and at the end was showing his will to change .

      Make sense if u think about it. The video also stated that Vernon Dudley hated those appearing to be more ‘noble’ (like those who wore suit? Or old school?), and that’s literally what the Potter family resemble. They’re such a nobility that they’re the RIGHTFUL HEIR to the mysterious cloaking coat. And the way James acts and try to raise Harry actually resembles the traditional nobility. Snape on the other hand, although a Wizard & half-blood, probably got looked down by those more aristocratic ones (that’s maybe why James Potter & his friends were such d***s against him), and he resented them too. So they share some kind of resentment to the ‘upper class’, especially the ‘old money elites’ that the likes of Potter family resembles.

      4. The year I yelled at Harry because someone who wanted to murder him put his name in this blue fire thing
      5. The year I was kicked out by a pink ASSHOLE and Harry didn't even care
      6. The year Harry watched me go OOF

    I actually kinda like how Dudley was throughout this. He started off being an absolute piece of crap to Harry. Beat him up, took his stuff, made fun of him. But eventually he ended up maturing more after a while. he ended up trying to be nicer towards the end, even if he didnt want to admit it openly to Harry, and basically thanked him for his help with the dementors. him asking why Harry wasnt coming with them almost comes off as being concerned about it, since he knew that they were leaving to be protected and he didnt understand why harry wouldnt be coming with them for that. and even though he and Harry didnt talk much or meet up very often IRL, he still ended up being hospitable to him and sending him cards on christmas, even letting his own kids play with Harry's, assumably becoming more open to his magic and the wizarding world. It may have been mostly unseen but he still grew as a person. The Dudley from book one would never have even said "see ya harry"

    Twice Lily stood up for someone she cared deeply about, trying to make things better for them, and they both threw it directly back in her face: Petunia and Snape. Lily saw how disappointed Petunia was about being rejected from Dumbledore and said she'd change his mind. Petunia called her a freak. Lily defended Snape when he was being mercilessly bullied, and then he called her a mudblood.

    I understand Petunia’s sadness and pain of being overshadowed and extremely jealous, but she has to understand that Harry, her nephew, is after all innocent. She is empathised by Potterheads, but she and Vernon should not be forgiven by passing on the anguish as an adult to a new generation. Also, Lily didn’t ask for her special quality of being a witch. It’s just genetically in her blood.

    • @dofinoah
      @dofinoah 2 года назад +20

      Although people empathised with Petunia for her pain and jealousy doesn't mean that people forgive her abusive actions towards Harry. After all, Harry is the only one that can forgive his aunt and uncle. She cut off her relationship with Lily because she wanted to move on from her sorrow and connection to the world that she once admired, and build a new life away from that. but with the arrival of Harry into her new world that she had built away from the wizarding world, making her efforts shattered and wasted. She has options in her hand when she received harry, either to treat him well or abuse him. it is only a matter of her decision, and she chooses to abuse him. it's a beautiful representation of how a human being is, we know what's good and what's bad, yet the heart decided it.

      I feel bad for her in the sense where her issues with Lily came from. It was all jealousy and being bitter, as horrible as the qualities are it's understandable. Constantly being in the shadow of your sister who was your parent's favourite, your sister who was treated like golden child and getting invited to Hogwarts while you're just sidelined and have to watch all that happen. It doesn't excuse her treatment of Harry but it's understandable how Petunia became so bitter.

    Petunia's story was unexpectededly touching. The older sister, envious of her younger sister's inate powers, forcing herself to live a life of absolute normality in order to set herself apart from her "freak" sister, burying her love, mourning and loss deep inside her and never being able to accept her nephew, as it would force her to admit that she truly missed her witch sister and once longed to be part of that world.
    None of the Dursley's were evil. Dudley was ultimately the victim of being spoiled from the day he was born. Petunia couldn't accept Harry, as he reminded her of her dead younger sister and her guilt. And Vernon, while being a generally not very likable person, did truly love his family.

Dumbledore Sends Petunia Harry And A Letter Telling Petunia Of Her Sister's Death And The Hands Of Lord Voldemort, And Asking Petunia To Take-Care Of Harry. Petunia (Who In This Timeline She Never Hated Her) Gladly Accepts, Over The Next 10 Years Petunia Raises Harry Telling Him All About The Magical World Much To Dumbledore Dismay.

    The fact that Harry looked like his dad really caused a lot of problems for him. From Snape to Vernon Dursley, so many ppl despised Harry because he reminded them of James who, lets face it, wasnt always the best.

    Being a huge Harry Potter fan, I am surprised and so saddened I had not discovered your fantastic videos before! So well done and very precisely researched. Than you for all your projects!
