“At last, at long last, the final evening of Marge’s stay arrived… She jerked her head at Harry, who felt his stomach clench. The Handbook, he thought quickly… Aunt Marge’s voice seemed to be boring into him like one of Uncle Vernon’s drills… Harry was shaking all over. He had never felt so angry in his life… “COME BACK IN HERE!” he bellowed. “COME BACK AND PUT HER RIGHT!””(26-30). I found this very significant because in the story Uncle Vernon told Harry Potter that if he behaved good for the week Aunt Marge was staying, he would sign Harry’s permission slip to Hogsmeade. Harry was doing great until the last day of Marge’s stay, when he blew mad and made Marge blow up.
I found challenging, the thought that Harry is forced to call Marge “Aunt”, when Marge hates the thought of Harry in general. “Even though she was not a blood relative of Harry’s (whose mother had been Aunt Petunia’s sister), had been forced to call her “Aunt” all his life.” …show more content…
I mean, Marge is always talking bad about Harry. She basically hates him. Wouldn’t she be insulted on hearing Harry calling her “Aunt”?

“And then the thing beneath the hood, whatever is was, drew a long, slow, rattling breath, as though it were trying to suck something more than air from its surroundings”(83). I think that the dementor did not only take away their happiness of the kids, but their hope in going back to Hogwarts.
“You fainted, potter? Is Longbottom telling the truth? You actually fainted?”(87). What I don’t understand, is why did the dementor attack Harry and not any of the other students boarding the train? Is Harry something special?
