kerravonsenPondering... Aunt Marge.
In canon - especially Movie canon - Aunt Marge drinks too much.
Suggestions as to why? For those of you who have read my WIP that I was posting a bit of last year, yes, it's in the context of that. So I'm wondering if there are some good and interesting character motivations which would enable one to make Aunt Marge not as much of a drunk as she is in canon, while remaining plausible and true to what we know.

When I visited the UK, I was startled how many people were drinking alcohol, and how much, although most of them did not seem drunk. I drink (especially wine and cocktails), but not like that.
Possibly Aunt Marge might knock off drinking as much as she used to once Harry is around simply because she believes that's more responsible? She does take good care her dogs; I think that might be plausible.
