This question should have been WHO not what. Poor tortoise! I think the better question should be, why did Dudley have a tortoise?! - Tatum

Maybe it's the dryer, maybe the washer. I like watching our front loading washer but the dryer's booriing. Whatever it is - it's turning counter clockwise. -Oreo

    Trivia: Oh Dudley. Always throwing fits, this time tossing his tortoise through the greenhouse roof, when other things like puking on purpose didn't work.

    What direction does the Dursley's washing machine turn? It doesn't, as it is a top loader. (Again, I have no idea so I am making things up!)

    Discuss Vernon's insanity.

    Vernon's mental issues go beyond a hatred for magic in general.
    He seems to have a touch of several mental illnesses, including obsessive compulsive disorder, paranoia, and panic disorder. These behaviors have are clearly displayed and include: insisting Harry cut his hair over and over and over again, muttering about being watched ("Watching--spying--might be following us."), and pulling on his mustache until half of it was missing.

  2. Tatum - I think it's a tortoise! Don't tell Hermio!

    Oreo - Clockwise...maybe. Now I'm second-guessing myself. That could have been the dryer...

    Willo - Vernon is insane. Period. Duct tape might solve it, but I doubt it. I forgot the 3 parts, but I want to just add: What the heck was he looking for when they were attempting to run away from the letters?! He kept getting out and muttering to himself, then driving away! And what psycho sold him a gun, then shipped him off in a tiny boat with his famiy??? I would have been calling the police. Seriously.

    What direction does the Dursley's washing machine turn?
    round and round

    This should be a fun one! Discuss Vernon's insanity. Remember! It's a 3 part question.
    wasn't he sane? well if you had a owl squawking in the attic (trust me is it like a rooster in the back room ?) and a kid under the stairs ( people in the walls) and a son that wanted 38 gifts not less even when they are bigger.
