Harry and Dumbledore's vindication at the end of the last book's conclusion had resulted in Harry once again being lionized; while not actively seen here, we somewhat sense that Harry is uncomfortable with again being hailed the hero. While Harry acted heroically based on the information he had, and alerted the Wizarding world to Voldemort's return, Harryhe feels duped and indirectly responsible for Sirius' death. Dumbledore is certainly aware of this ambivalence, and while he realizes that Harry cannot emotionally heal at Privet Drive, he also knows that Harry's protection from Voldemort depends on his returning there each summer. Dumbledore probably calculated the minimum time that Harry needed stay at Privet Drive to retain his protection and has arranged to move him to a more appropriate place, almost certainly [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/The Burrow|the Burrow]], as soon as he safely can.
 
Dumbledore's injured hand indicates that sinister events may be underway in the EizardingWizarding world that Harry is not yet privy to. For whatever reason, Dumbledore keepswithholds this information from Harry, at least for now.
 
A small highlight on Petunia's character is seen here; as part of her bedtimenighttime preparationsroutine, Petunia apparently cleans and disinfects the kitchen. We have already seen thather she is able to findassigning endless cleaning jobstasks forto Harry, and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Nymphadora Tonks|Tonks]] had earlier mentioned that the house seemed overly clean. ItPetunia ismay possible that Petunia sufferssuffer from a trace ofan obsessive compulsive disorder, and this shows upresulting in a need to have everything spotless and germ-free. Harry's thoughts about her dismay at having Kreacher appear on her parlor carpet are not unexpectedsurprising; Harry clearly is aware of thisPetunia's cleanliness fetish of Petunia's.
 
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 he actively criticizes how they have treated Harry and raised Dudley. While he is still as good-natured and civil as ever, there seems to be an unexpectedunanticipated edginess in his manner. As can be expected, the Dursleys apparently ignore Dumbledore's rebuke and seem unlikely to ever change.
 
Many readers may be somewhat alarmed when Dumbledore offers Harry and Dudley each 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.
