I really dislike the Dursleys intensely too - so much that I feel quite depressed when I read the parts of the books where Harry is with them. I also really think Lucius Malfoy is really nasty - his actions at Flouish and Blotts in book 2 really got me truly disliking him in a big way. Which has led me tonight to just think of a nice idea - wouldn't it be nice to lock the Wizard-hating Dursleys in the same room as Muggle-hating Lucius Malfoy and let them drive each other crazy!
Neville may be a little hopeless at things but he's got a good heart, so I do like him. And although the Creeveys are annoying, they're not bad people, just a little over-enthusiastic, so I can't dislike them, I just think they're a bit over-the-top in their Hero-worship of Harry, who doesn't want their kind of excess attention.
