"Aunt Petunia has never performed magic, and never will, but there's more to her than meets the eye..."

After reading this statement, I came up to an idea that Aunt Petunia have some connections with wizards.
I think that Aunt Petunia has ancestors that were wizards and witches. Lily was called a "Mudblood" (sorry for the term) because her and Petunia's parents have no magical abilities. But then, it doesn't mean that they are already Muggles. It is possible that they are Squibs.
I also remembered an article that I have read in the net that Rowling commented that she's being discreet after she stated that there is more to Aunt Petunia than meets the eye.

Has anyone else who's read Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime inferred that the main character suffers from Asperger's Syndrome? He meets all of the Asperger's criterion: strongly ordered behavior, affinity for math and physics, poor motor skills, inability to empathize ... etc, ect.

If you drew another conclusion of his condition, I'd like to hear it. I thought I would take a poll of readers before I leapt into the critic reviews. Nobody that I know has read it.

Please describe your experience. ("How did you like the book" doesn't really suffice for this one...)

This will seem like a random question, but bear with me. In any of his books (I think perhaps it was the da vinci code)... does a character have an apartment in venice, facing some church?

If this rings a bell, could you look up for me what church that is? or plaza?
I'm trying to remember it, but all I remember were that there were a couple of Da Vinci code fans there exclaiming about the apartment etc.

My girlfriend gave me a book about a month called "The Perks of Being a Wallflower." I read it in about a day, not because I liked it, but because I was trying to see if it would culminate into some kind of twist ending that would make it all worthwhile. But no, all I got out of it was a kid that was ok with doing drugs and drinking, didn't know how to masturbate (not even joking), and the most naive and childish writing that's ever grazed my cornea. The kid even went into some kind of catatonic seizure for no reason at all, or something like that. And in one part of the story, he gives poem to his friend Patrick that's supposed to be a suicide note...and he doesn't even know it's about suicide!!! Please, if there's anyone else out there that agree (or disagrees) with me, please respond. I don't like Stephen Chbosky.

I'm not really sure if this is the right category, but I'm asking anyway. I've been playing x-men legends 1 and 2 and i thought that I knew a lot about the x-men universe, but when I tried the little mini trivia games, I was really at a loss. Is there a site where i can buy the comics from start to most recent, or have they been reprinted in larger volumes? Also, which ones came first (extreme, ultimate . . .)?

I keep starting novels, but never seem to retain an intrest in that particular idea, moving on to another almost immidiately. I've tried almost everything I can think to do, but am out of ideas.
