Who could have thought that Harry Potter will have the perfect husband material in the last place we thought — on Privet Drive.

Let's get things straight from the very beginning: Uncle Vernon Dursley is still one of the most despicable characters in the Harry Potter universe. However, a really unexpected fan take might add some layers to this character — even if you never asked for those.

TikToker @adamisboredathome has come up with the hot take in one of his videos, saying that "nobody gives Vernon H Dursley the credit he deserves for being an absolute ride or die king." And if you think about it, he is lowkey right...

"Wife has a complex and traumatic relationship with magic ? He'll fist fight every wizard he meets ON SIGHT. She doesn't want her nephew getting mail? He'll [...] die before he lets a single letter enter that Christforsaken house. Truly a god tier husband," the TikToker noted.

And while it does not excuse a single abusive thing he and his wife have done to Harry, it looks like Uncle Vernon is, in fact, a pretty good husband, no matter how painful it is to admit.

"Vernon was willing to move into a shack in the ocean to, in his eyes, protect his family, from allowing their kid to become a magical rampage who would wreck their lives. Now, from a different point of view, that's almost respectable," Redditor PeopleAreBozos noted.

After all, it's worth remembering that the Dursley family never asked to be a part of the magical turmoil that Harry (or, to be fair, Professor Dumbledore) signed them up for.

Who could have thought that the year 2023 will have the Harry Potter fandom taking Uncle Vernon's side, of all people? Yeah, we neither.
