It's like, if you knew a blind person who was really obnoxious would you play mean tricks on him by using his lack of sight against him? You could, but it would still cross the line.
Exactly! Thank you.
The problem here is that the Dursleys are so terrified I think I can't imagine them saying good-bye to Harry even if they weren't being rude. In fact, I almost think they'd have played nice simply out of fear. The fact that they continue to be rude seems almost brave.
That's true. Arthur doesn't mean to, but he's grinding Vernon even deeper into the mud than he already is, essentially forcing him to play nice after the godawful way he's been treated.
