Petunia Dursley had been a far more complex character than the Harry Potter movies let on, but she still wasn't entirely deserving of redemption.
Petunia Dursley had a complicated story in the Harry Potter books, especially regarding morality—but the movies didn't do her character justice. Harry's aunt treated him terribly during his years living with the Dursleys, and her behavior was abusive, no matter how you look at it. However, while the movies made her nothing more than a villain, the books demonstrated how even someone as despicable as Patunia is more complex than that.
Harry & Petunia Shared 1 Emotional Moment In the Harry Potter Books There could be no excuse for how Petunia treated Harry throughout the Harry Potter series. She starved and neglected him, and there were several implications of physical abuse. However, where the Harry Potter movies left it at that, the books explained why Petunia was so cruel.
"She was looking at Harry as she had never looked at him before. And all of a sudden, for the very first time in his life, Harry fully appreciated that Aunt Petunia was his mother’s sister. He could not have said why this hit him so very powerfully at this moment. All he knew was that he was not the only person in the room who had an inkling of what Lord Voldemort being back might mean. Aunt Petunia had never in her life looked at him like that before.
A Harry Potter Deleted Scene Tried To Redeem Aunt Petunia It's clear from Petunia's treatment of Harry that she was not an emotionally mature person. She was in complete denial about how she treated Harry and never had a moment in which she realized she had been wrong and felt remorse. Instead, Harry only subtly realized how Petunia felt and never said anything to her about it or took the time to forgive her.
