“’ Aunt Petunia, whose face had been buried in her handkerchief, looked up at the sound. She did not expect to find herself alone with Harry. Hastily stowing her wet handkerchief into her pocket, she said, ‘Well- good-bye,’ and marched toward the door... For a moment Harry had the strangest feeling she wanted to say something to him… but then, with a little jerk of her head, she bustled out the door of the room after her husband and son.”	42	(R) This quote makes me feel a bit sad. I think it’s horrible how this woman couldn’t find any other words to say to her only blood nephew-the flesh and blood of her only, sister who is now deceased- other than ‘good-bye’. Whenever I read a book in this series I wonder, how can family treat each other like that? If I was in Petunia’s situation, I would be the best Aunt I could possibly be! I would do anything to keep my nephew happy. I think, personally, that if you took away all the Death-eaters and such (Voldemorts Gang) Petunia would be the vilest creature.
