I reread chapters 10 and 13, and Harry and Dumbledore don't directly judge Tom Sr. either way.


* BrainwashedBride: Merope Gaunt either drugged him with a love potion or cast a MindControl spell on him and made him marry her, then, while pregnant with his child, lifted the mind control in the vain hope he might have fallen in love with her for real. He instead promptly dumped her and went back to his ex-fiancee.

* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Averted; the narrative, Dumbledore, and Harry acknowledge that what Merope did to him was seriously messed up and that he didn't deserve it regardless of his snobbery and elitism.

* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Averted; the narrative, Dumbledore, and Harry acknowledge never directly condemn him for abandoning his rapist and rape-child (contrast Harry being angered that Merope chose DeathByDespair over staying in the future Voldemort's life), and in general it's shown that what Merope did to him was seriously messed up and that he didn't deserve it regardless of his snobbery and elitism.



** For all Riddle's trash talking about Morfin, he never insults Morfin's sister, Merope, due to her not antagonizing him or anyone else in town.

** Can you really blame him for running out on his wife and unborn child given that the only reason he married and conceived a child with her was that she brainwashed him with a LovePotion? Harry and Dumbledore don't and agree that he had every reason to want to get the hell away from a rapist once he was out of the LovePotion's influence.

* AMatchMadeInStockholm: Averted. He was trapped in a love potion/Imperius Curse-induced relationship with Merope, which led to her becoming pregnant with their child. She stopped giving him love potions/Imperius Curse in hope that he would love her or at least stay with her because of their baby. Instead, he ran back home because it doesn't change the fact that she had drugged/cursed and raped him.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: His bullying of Harry is toned down in the films, aside from him rudely saying to him in the second movie, "Who'd want to be friends with you?"

* KarmaHoudini: Aside from some harsh words from Dumbledore and some Order members, and a handful of amusing magical disasters they've gotten caught up in (read: the Ton-Tongue Toffee incident), the Dursleys ''never'' suffer any long-term consequences for turning Harry's childhood & teen years into a waking nightmare.

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: A slight one in the ''Philosopher's Stone'' movie. In the book, he doesn't want Harry to come on his birthday trip to the zoo and cries CrocodileTears in front of his parents to try and convince them not to bring his cousin. In the film, he seems excited that they're both going (even if he's disturbing Harry by jumping loudly on the stairs above his cupboard to wake him up).

* FoolishHusbandResponsibleWife: More intelligent and reasonable than her husband, though not by very much. In ''Order of the Phoenix'', she's the only Dursley who believes Harry's story about Voldemort's return and convinces Vernon not to throw Harry out the house. Granted, her being sent a Howler by Dumbledore played a factor.
