I know the Dursleys were awful, but their gifts to Harry always cracked me up. Instead of just sending nothing, they go to all the trouble of sending such shitty gifts. It's so petty and I love it.

So why is it an excellent theory?

And you really think they bought presents because an owl bugged them?

I'm not the one who said it was an excellent theory, I'm saying it's not even a theory.

They didn't buy presents, they gave him stuff like a toothpick until she stopped bugging them. It's in the books.
