Deathly Hallows: The Dursleys Departing

Ah, Chapter Three. As much as I loved you (Vernon! Being a jerk! Petunia! Also being a jerk! Dursley! First steps on the road to being an okay guy!), I didn't really want to draw you.

But Petunia, you horse-faced, bony-jawed, judgmental you...

( ... here you are. )

I was sorry that we didn't see the Dursleys again, too, especially Dudley.

I love this picture. For some reason, this really makes her look like Lily's sister, while still looking unpleasant and Petunia-ish.

Yes, I choose to believe that Dudley is indeed in contact with Harry later on, and comes to big parties and whatnot... almost like he's family or something.

Thank you. I hope that, in this moment, she was looking back at her time with Harry and thinking about her sister as she knew her in their youth. I hope she could remember some of the love that was obviously there at some point.

I also hope she felt guilty about being a really crap foster mom. :P

I feel that if Lily had lived, she would have looked a bit like this, but with more smile lines than frown lines.

I can almost feel sorry for Petunia, ending up an asshole as she did... but whatever bitterness you hold towards an adult, obviously their child ought to be exempt. I mean, crappest foster family ever. "Hello, new son! Go live in a closet. Enjoy your roommates. They're spiders." But between Snape and Petunia, there's a lot of holding the sons accountable for the sins of the parents.
