Ah, this is your cousin, is it, Harry?” said Mr. Weasley, taking another brave stab at making conversation. “Yep,” said Harry, “that’s Dudley.” He and Ron exchanged glances and then quickly looked away from each other; the temptation to burst out laughing was almost overwhelming.

Indeed, from the tone of his voice when he next spoke, Harry was quite sure that Mr. Weasley thought Dudley was quite as mad as the Dursleys thought he was, except that Mr. Weasley felt sympathy rather than fear.
