‘What she did was unforgivable’: Potterheads Debate What They Would Do if They Were in Aunt Petunia’s Shoes, and if Her Behavior Was Justified

While we all admire Harry's bravery and the way he handled his life situation, we often tend to forget he was just an 11-year-old kid, and he had many adults in his life who simply failed him. The first adult who failed Harry was Aunt Petunia, the one relative he had, who should have loved Harry like her own child.

No matter what kind of problems Petunia had with Lily or James, Harry was not to blame for any of them. He didn't deserve to spend 11 years without real love, and he most definitely didn't deserve to live in a cupboard. So even if I feel for Petunia and understand her jealousy over Lily becoming a witch and going to Hogwarts, I do not think that is an excuse for her behavior as an adult.

But that is just my opinion, and in the Reddit thread down below, Potterheads share what they think they would have done if they were in Petunia's shoes. Scroll down to read this enlightening discussion. After you are done, click here for some magically hilarious Harre Potter memes.
