Aunt Marge Character Analysis in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Uncle Vernon's sister. Like him she's large, purple, and mean, and she takes special pleasure in tormenting Harry. She lives in the country and breeds bulldogs, and her expertise in dog breeding gives her lots of "evidence" for the mean things she says to Harry. She insists that people are like dogs and that both of Harry's parents were defective; therefore, it's no wonder Harry is such a disappointment. When Harry finally reaches the end of his rope and loses his temper, he inadvertently blows Aunt Marge up like a balloon. After Harry leaves the Dursleys' house, The Ministry of Magic fixes Marge and wipes her memory.
