A Butterbeer for Aunt Petunia
By Texas Lupine Abstract: Petunia Dursley wanted no part of the wizarding world, but it kept intruding on her life. This essay takes a semi-sympathetic look at Harry Potter’s guardian aunt as a child and as an adult. It attempts to explain why she treated Harry so shabbily and concludes that Petunia was, after all, one of the good guys. Biography: Texas Lupine is the author of two non-fiction books and dozens of magazine articles. She keeps Harry Potter on a handy shelf near her writing desk, along with The Lord of the Rings, Harriet the Spy, and various tellings of the King Arthur story. This essay can be read here.
