Harry Potter Theroies

The Dursley's Have A Very Good Reason For Being So Horrible

From the very beginning, we're lead to believe that the Dursley's family is absolutly the worst. They forbid Harry from going to hogwarts, locked him away for months at a time and probably also recline their on an airplane.They're real pieces of shits.

The Dursley's are so bad it's comical. Yeah, Dudley sort of makes up with his cousin and Harry might've not grown up humble if he didn't have such a godawful upbringing, but that doesn't excuse the Dursley's from being a barrel of fermanted buttmunches.

Well, besides the fact that it's all Harry's fault.

As repugnant as they are, the Dursley's were nice enough to at least take in the orphaned Harry into their home. It's an act of charity that doesn't exactly gel with the jaded monsters that we see on later on, so something must have happened in those 10 years to make them hard, disgruntled and callous human beings. It's like they had a horcrux living under the stairs of their home.

Remember, a horcrux is any vessel that holds a piece of Voldemort's twisted soul-- and that includes Harry Potter himself. Horcruxes radiate poison;just being close to them will drive you mad.

For instance, near the end of the series, the gang is traveling the globe to destroy all horcruxes, and slowly each starts to unwind.Ron starts feeling it after just a few weeks of horcrux hunting. And poor Ginny, she was for a whole year with Tom Riddle's diary (also a horcrux if you don't know) back during the chamber of secrets, and that ordeal nearly killed her.

Horcruxes are like someone dipped the one ring in a vat of ketchup water and then made plans with you and forgot to text you that they were bailing on you so you show up at Chili's and eat Chili's alone and you are the saddest person at Chili's full of people sad enough to eat at Chili's.

Horcruxes are a bad scene.

What does this have to do with the Dursley's? Well, if Ron was in dire straights after a month with a horcrux, spending an entire decade living with something eating away at you year after year. To say you'd turn out to be a prolapsed asshole would be an understatment.
