A Writing Problem

[Aleh]

In another thread, I posted an excerpt of the first prologue to a fic I'm working on. Unfortunately, I've hit something of a wall in writing it -- namely, in the scene I'm working on, I need to portray Petunia Dursley in a relatively sympathetic fashion while remaining in-character for her. This is complicated by the fact that I can't quite seem to get her speech patterns quite right.
