Hmm that is interesting. I've never really thought of them as "bullies" but I guess they are. They never treated Ron very nicely, and he suffered for it, and I didn't really like how they treated their family in the store either. I mean, come on, they're poor, why can't they get some free stuff? But Harry does? Meh I don't know.
The way they treated Percy is pretty appalling too, though I guess Percy kind of got what he shelled out... but even before Book5, they'd pretty much treated him like shit. B( It partly stems from my soft spot for Percy (HA! Bill? Charlie, the oldest? HA! They were the fun and wickedly cool uncles who came home on occasion; Percy was the one who was taking care of them) and that does take over sometime, but, you know...
Well, I can see why they give free stuff to Harry - remember, he owns part of the business. They couldn't have started it without his initial investment of his Triwizard winnings.
