I don't know that much about fandom, but I'm starting to notice something.
Every other fanfic I see has Draco as being troubled, or nice, or an old softie, or something. People love Draco.
But Dudley, he never gets any of this. He's never even *mentioned*, much less cooed over.
Why is this? Where's the Dudley love? Poor Dudley. HE's never going to be seen as misguided. HE gets no chance to free himself from the shackles of the Dursley's "parenting". He's never even going to apply himself and make everybody realize that he's really been underachieving, not stupid.
Poor, poor Dudley.
