** Henry is horrid, as his name implies, but he is implied to be despised by his family. He rarely gets anything nice from his great-aunt because she's very senile, and it becomes worse when he eventually goes from being an obvious culprit to a complete scapegoat. There's also the implication that he only acts horrible because he's sad and lonely.

The real heartbreaker here is that Henry seemed to truly love her and when he found out his true love was just a BitchInSheepsClothing, he seemed truly crushed and heartbroken. It doesn't help that Henry did not act horrid at all in the whole episode.

Even a book series and TV show about a kid as horrid as his nickname indicates can get really heartbreaking at times.

** Peter is arrogant and spoilt, but imagine having a brother like Henry, who constantly bullies you day and night. It doesn't help that Henry actually tried to get rid of him as soon as he was born.

** There's also Rich Aunt Ruby and Stuck-Up Steven, who always gloat about their wealth and put their relatives down because of it. However, it is implied that they are lonely and only invite their relatives over because they're the closest things they have to friends.
** Prissy Polly and Pimply Paul's marriage is pretty rocky and complicated. Polly never stops bossing people around or thinks about how others might feel if she only gets her way and Paul is a very hardworking guy, but people are always disrespectful towards him (even his own wife). The only thing keeping them from a divorce is their daughter, Vera. It doesn't help that their wedding was totally ruined by Henry.
