Dumbledore's injured hand indicates that sinister events may be underway in the wizarding world that Harry is not yet privy to. For whatever reason, Dumbledore chooses to keep them from Harry, at least for now.
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
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.

The reason for Dumbledore's drastic character change can be attributed to him being damaged by a ring [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Horcrux|Horcrux]], an object containing a deadly curse that should have killed him. He was able to get help from [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Severus Snape|Severus Snape]], who has kept him alive by extraordinary magical means, although only temporarily. This minute-to-minute awareness that he will soon die, and the resulting sense of urgency, is likely the cause for his changed character.
Dumbledore, speaking directly to Petunia, says they have corresponded before. There were, in fact, at least four letters that we will learn of, though at this point in our reading there isn't anything that we can think of as "correspondence". Dumbledore had written a letter, which had been left, with Harry, on the Dursleys' doorstep [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Philosopher's Stone|at the beginning of the series]], and the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Howler|Howler]] which had been addressed to Petunia in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix/Chapter 2|''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'']] has also been revealed to have been sent by Dumbledore. There is no indication that either of them had been answered by Petunia, and correspondence does rather imply an exchange of messages; despite this, many readers will assume that it is one or the other of these letters to which Dumbledore is referring. However, we will learn, in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 33|''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'']], that Petunia had earlier written to Hogwarts pleading for admission, and that it was Dumbledore who had responded to her plea, refusing her on the grounds that she was unable to do magic. If we assume that Dumbledore had implied exchange of information, then he can only have been referring to this first set of letters.
