      It is amazing, the very first paragraph of the first Harry Potter book is JKR dunking on the Dursley family for being boring narrow-minded affluent white picket fence nobodies Like the whole "wizard school" metaphor is her earnestly thinking on some level she was above all thathttps://twitter.com/FreyjaErlings/status/1266417145732268033 …

      Every English person despises the people below them on the class ladder, and the Dursleys are a caricature of lower- to middle-middle Englishfolk, so of course Rowling ("chattering" classes, i.e. upper-middle) has nothing but contempt for them and draws them as *the worst*.

      I'm not saying the Dursleys are somehow sympathetic characters, I'm saying JKR is a lot more similar to the Dursleys than she seems to realize

          i dont think the class lecture is of much use with Rowlling... is more like, she is a low-conservative, she has nothing agains labels and stratos, she just belives there are bad people making their level/label look bad. That is why she is becoming all the caricatures of bad peopl

          She is not agains a strick teacher that bullies their alumni, she is agains BAD teachers that does it. She is not agains elites like the mayfoils, he is agains elites that dont price meritocracy and help lower class that "deserve it" go up in the chain...

          If she wasn't, there would be no reason to lash out against them as she does. They're not sympathetic (there are a few token gestures in that direction in later books, but as with Slughorn-the-sympathetic-Slytherin, it's very much too little, too late), but making them...

          ...as over-the-top malevolent as she does (which would be halfway understandable in Petunia's case, working off old envies and injuries from Lily, but not with the other two) wasn't necessary and shows that there might be a deeper issue with "them" here.
