An interesting observation on Harry Potter covers...

Here.

Personally, I think the Dursleys are just the type to force a kid to write right-handed because it's "normal" (whatever that means). Funny thing, though, even if you write with your right-hand, the basic neurology that makes you a lefty doesn't change. You're still left-handed. Just like sleeping with guys doesn't make a gay girl straight, and looking people in the eye doesn't make you non-autistic.

In fact, I'd be rather surprised at the behavioural change that could effect* a change in your neurology.

Just sayin'


*_{Yes, this is an example of the rare verb effect. Later, I'll use the rare noun affect and confuse the heck out of you. Stay tuned!}

Oh, yes, I agree. But I still like my theory better. (And besides, it fits inside the book universe. If we went to that universe, and told Harry that he held his wand sometimes in the left hand because the artist was a lefty, he'd be confused.)
