Dòng 23:
It has been suggested that Dumbledore acts out of character in this book. This is particularly obvious in this chapter. While still a peaceful and wise wizard, Dumbledore seems to act with a bit more directness and urgency than usual. He uses magic to sweep the Dursleys to the couch and chides them for their ill-manners, and actively criticizes how they have treated Harry and raised Dudley. While he is still as good natured as ever, there seems to be an unexpected edginess and urgency in his manner. As can be expected, the Dursleys ignore Dumledore's rebuke and are unlikely to ever change.
Dumbledore also speaks to directly to Aunt Petunia saying that they have corresponded in the past. Many readers assume this refers to the howler that Dumbledore sent to Petunia in Order of Phoenix. But in Snape's memories in Deathly Hallows we learn that Petunia wrote to Dumbledore looking to gain admittance to Hogwarts. It is highly likely Dumbledore is referring to this correspondence rather than the howler he sent.
Many readers may be somewhat alarmed when Dumbledore offers Harry a glass of mead. Mead, a wine made from honey, is usually relatively strong at 14% alcohol by volume, and it would be illegal to give it to a minor in North America. Liquor laws are less restrictive in Britain, however, and though someone underage may not purchase liquor in the UK, there is nothing that prohibits someone younger than 18 years from drinking wine or beer if it is offered by an adult.
