This is absolutely masterful. I love this characterization for Petunia because she observes and understands so much, and yet she often doesn't put the information together in the best ways. (And she's hardly the only one -- I love Lily, but this story makes a very convincing case that she wasn't always easy to live with). Yet by the end, I have respect for Petunia because all her choices weren't bad, and she has a life and a family that she can be happy with, and is still trying to make it better. I like to think she reconciles with Harry and Ginny eventually and now I'm madly curious how much of Lily she would see in Ginny!

The paragraph this comes from is my favorite:
Nobody ever seems to remember that fairy-tales are as cruel as they are beautiful. Everybody thinks about Sleeping Beauty and her prince, not the people who lived and died disappeared while she was sleeping. Perfect.
