foxmonkeyI've been thinking about this since the first book, and with every beginning and ending since of the four books in the series that I've read.
Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia seem to hate Harry Potter with every fiber of their being, with the intense, burning hatred of a thousand fiery suns.
Why are they so hell-bent on keeping him around?
I don't get this. They don't want him to come home for holidays during the school year, but they refuse to let him visit Ron over the summer. Weh? Shouldn't they be *glad* to get rid of him? If he's gone over the summer as well, they'd practically never have to see him at all.
Enlighten me, o great thinkers of Pottermania.

In my little fangirl head Uncle Vernon knows that Harry and Ron are soinlove and wants to keep them apart during summer because he can.
Am I close? :-D
