i stutter when i'm excited or angry too. I've never really been able to rid myself of it. even with speech therapy. if i can help, let me know!
Author's Response: How am I doing with the story? I've known a few people in my life who have had a stutter, but that was all a long time ago. Is Harry's stuttering and his emotions about it realistic?

The problem with this is that the police would arrest Dursleys for child endangerment, which is the problem for all stories where the Dursleys torture and beat Harry.
Author's Response: Except that in this story the Dursley's never actually called the police, because they knew that would happen. They just threatened Harry with it and he believed them and left. As for the other stories, nobody ever actually called the police. The police don't always know everything that is going on in people's homes unless somebody tells them. A lot of times child endangerment, neglect, and abuse goes unnoticed sadly. I know of many cases of friends growing up that had this issue, and they didn't tell anybody for fear of the consequences, and nobody ever called the police for them.
