James Potter A Good Uncle

Everyone talks about how sad it is that Petunia didn’t treat Harry right because if it had been reversed Lily would’ve loved Dudley. I want to expand on this but with James instead.

James would’ve taken Dudley on a broom with him so he could experience it.

James would’ve given Dudley a real bedroom.

James would’ve limited magic usage in the house to make Dudley more comfortable.

James would’ve sent Harry and Dudley to muggle school because he knew Dudley had a low chance of having magic.

James would’ve helped Dudley with his eating so he wouldn’t be picked on at school.

James would’ve treated Dudley as if he was his own son.

James would’ve been willing to sacrifice his life not only for Harry and Lily but also Dudley.

It’s a tragedy that James and Lily died and Petunia and Vernon mistreated Harry.

After James and Lily had gone into hiding Petunia sent a letter to Lilys old adress. Unaware that Lily was in hiding. In said letter she talked about wanting to meet up and talk and that she’s sorry. It was short, formal. The only thing suggesting they knew each other was the signing and greeting; to Lil, from Tunie.

Lily never recives the letter. Petunia is mad and angry because Lily mever responds. She put part of her heart into it and Lily doesn’t even responds… Then Harry Potter shows up on her doorstep

James: Stop saying “I wish” and start saying “I will” to become a happier person.

Remus: I will I wasn’t a werewolf.

Sirius: I will I had a good family.

Lily: I will my sister wasn’t such a bi-

James: And thaat’s enough sharing for today, folks.

Vernon can’t handle the knowledge that his oldest granddaughter is a witch. Petunia, though, pushes through and tries to continue her relationship with her family. She does her best to continue to love Myrna, but sometimes she comes out rather judgy and pointed after so many years.  

She tends to say things like, “So are all witches ….unfeminine, Myrna, dear, or is that just you?”

“Mustyou bring that owl with us to France? I don’t believe it will leave a very good impression with customs as all it seems to know how to leave is it’s droppings everywhere?”

“Myrna, it’s just that if you didn’t insist on wearing robes, our family pictures would look so much nicer. But of course it’s up to you and your fathers.”

“Your grandfather couldn’t even put up with this unnaturalness. At least I’m here. You could cut me a little bit of slack.”

Dudley and Aaron stick up for her, as does Rhea sometimes, but it doesn’t change Petunia’s behavior. You can’t teach an old dog new tricks. 

Based on a super fun conversation with @dragonflyinsideajar <3 (Credit to her for the owl quote - I spit out my cough drop laughing when she sent it.)
