I loved this in PA even though I don't think I left a review.... But it is gorgeous prose! And I feel so bad for petunia. I'm happy to be seeing so many petunia stories now! Jut because it means that we realize Muggles are a part of this world, too! :)

This is so perfect. You managed to characterise Petunia so perfectly and in so few words, yet you also managed to garner some sympathy for her.

Vernon was a photograph, and photographs don’t get invitations (or it would be abnormal)

So sad ... for Petunia, her rock has gone and no one seems to care. I was pleased you resolved this with Harry and Dudley turning up at the end. having harry there was so right because I think he would forgive her, and would realise how alone Petunia is. Hmm, I wonder, the fact that Harry is speaking first makes me wonder if he reminded Dudley and not the other way around.

Spaghetti Bolognese .... what are you implying?

Great poem. You managed to still keep a lyrical structure to the piece despite it not being set out in a normal poetic form. (Makes me wonder what Petunia would think about it. I bet she hates free verse - LOL) ~Croll~
