Shout out to Severus for not attacking Vernon physically. He's had growth as well. I can't imagine that this will end favorably for the Dursleys. Good. They deserve to have the book thrown at them. 

I'm not a big fan of the skeleton man social worker. Seriously- he couldn't just take Harry down the hall or report to a cop that Dudley was harassing Harry? Pitiful. At least it gave Harry an opportunity to show Dudders how little he cared about him. Harry is correct to pity Dudley, but Dudley is also expected to know how to treat others. I'll say this for Dudley- he makes Percy Weasley seem a lot more palatable! 

I'm sad to see how high Harry's anxiety has been. He really needs a place to process all of this. Too bad he's stuck in the 80s. I think he'd be given more mental health support today. 

Tobias needs to leave Snow alone. If she doesn't want to talk to him that is her choice. He doesn't get to force himself in. 

Hardy Boys books? Nice. If I recall correctly those books are a bit ambitious for 9 year old. It goes to show just how bright this girl is. And of course she picks Hardy Boys over Nancy Drew. She's got no time for the Nancy/Ned relationship or Bess' clothes drama. 

Nicely written courtroom drama. Gotta love Severus vs Vernon confrontations. Cliffhanger for the judgement...
