well i think it would be akward for them to not have anyone to poke fun at. I mean its almost like it would be buyers remorse... you want something so badly and then you get it and it sucks. I think that if harry did die, it would be like they finally get the perfect family that they've always wanted and it would suck. No one to do all the chores anymore, or for dudley to poke fun of. I think they would kind of miss him. not because they love him, but because hes just always been there.
Won't you go away
and leave me till the time of dying days
stand here by my side
and watch the river flood and pass us by
gaboman said this in post #6 : I think Dudley wont appreciate Harry saving him, perhaps grow more jealous, more vicious towards him... which can't be good fer poor 'arry now, can' it?
Hmm.. I see a possible Harry saves Dudley/James saves Snape parallel here...
Oh, the look on Snape's face if he knew he was being compared to Dudley..
