Chapter 41:
Harry was confused by the sudden turn and let it show in this voice. "Thank you, sir?" he said questioningly.
"Over the holidays I received a note from Madam Pomfrey - now, before you get upset, she did not in any way betray your trust. She simply asked for me to keep an eye on you as she had not had a chance to run her check up. Knowing she would not be able to give any insight, I took it upon myself to write to your family asking if they knew about any health concerns as I doubted you would want to talk to me yourself as you hadn't do so. The note I received back shocked me, and I am honestly unsure what to do with the information."
Harry was surprised by the man's actions as it showed how dedicated he was to his students. Handing over the piece of paper, Harry read the note with interest.

Professor Flittle,
If the freak is ill, then it's not our fault! We wanted nothing to do with him from the start! Let the cretin die for all we care!
We were promised that if we took him in, your lot would leave us alone. We do not appreciate you and your freakish owls being sent to our NORMAL home.
You forced him on us, that old man promised he would be normal if we worked him hard enough! He's your problem now!
Leave us alone in the future; we do not care what happens to the boy.
