Sometimes I forget how many of my mutuals don't like my favorite character. Until I see this on my dash, and then I remember:
Tumblr media
Anyway, I'm not going to reblog and argue with people on a correctly tagged post that was clearly not meant for Regulus fans. But I don't think Sirius & Regulus had a relationship similar to Harry & Dudley.
Sirius & Regulus had a scapegoat and golden child dynamic, I've said that before. But I tend to think this came later, as a response to Sirius's rebellion. He was treated badly by their parents and Regulus was seen as "a much better son" because Sirius refused to be what they expected. With Harry, the mistreatment started the moment he arrived on their doorstep, for no other reason than because he was Lily's son and a wizard.
Harry was never treated like family. He slept in the cupboard under the stairs while Dudley had two bedrooms, was made to work hard while Dudley seemingly did no chores at all, and was given only the basic necessities while Dudley was spoiled rotten. So this creates, from day one, a huge divide between them. Dudley was probably encouraged in bullying Harry, and would've been strongly discouraged from trying to befriend him or treating him like an equal.
There's no evidence that Sirius and Regulus were treated so differently as young children. It's noted in Deathly Hallows that their bedrooms were very similar, except the decor and the fact that Sirius's was a bit larger - quite different from Dudley's two bedrooms and Harry's cupboard under the stairs. With Sirius being the oldest boy in his generation from a family that cared a lot about surnames and bloodlines, they probably had high expectations for him and, initially, would've favored him - until he made it clear he wasn't going to go along with their crap.
Before he started school, I think they would have been more accepting of his rebellious nature, assuming he would turn out similar to Walburga and Bellatrix, who are certainly not meek or submissive but remain in line with the family's values. But then, of course, Sirius ended up in Gryffindor - which I also think is when he started developing ideas about pure-bloods not being superior, etc., after spending time away from the family and meeting people like Lily and Remus. So their favoritism towards Regulus probably began with Sirius's Sorting, and really solidified once Regulus started school and went to Slytherin.
Sirius ran away when he was "about sixteen" - I usually go for Christmas of his fifth year, since that would be just after his sixteenth birthday, but it could probably be anywhere from the summer before (almost sixteen) to the summer after (almost seventeen). So it was about 4-5 years between when Sirius lost their parents' favor and when he left home for the last time.
This is the time period when I think they were really pitted against each other the most. And I'm not saying Regulus was totally innocent in this, but I do tend to think there's something to it that doesn't exist in Harry & Dudley's relationship: a feeling of being in a precarious position. As the younger and previously overlooked son, suddenly the parents' favorite, watching his older brother fall from grace, I think he would have been very aware that the same could happen to him. The tables could turn, easily, because their parents' love was not unconditional. So I imagine him trying very hard to prevent that from happening, to live up to their expectations - and that would probably have led to hostility between himself and Sirius, but it's a very different dynamic than Dudley picking on Harry just because he knew he could get away with it.
If we're going to compare with Harry & Dudley, it's also worth mentioning, Dudley's behavior toward Harry included some pretty awful physical abuse. They didn't just argue, Dudley actually beat Harry up, sometimes with a bunch of his friends there to help him. There's no indication that Regulus was doing this to Sirius, or the magical equivalent of hexing him at any opportunity. When Sirius talked about Regulus, he never said he was violent or abusive, only that he was "soft enough to believe" what they were taught by the family. It was more of an ideological divide than anything else - one that culminated in both of them joining opposite sides of the war.
They're just very different situations, very different dynamics. I don't think it's fair to compare them. And I do think the Black brothers' relationship was much more complex than Harry & Dudley's, at least pre-DH.

I’m listening to this song and thinking about a universe where Petunia didn’t mistreat Harry. Where she divorced her husband and took Dudley and Harry with her. Where on Harry’s 11th birthday, she gets to walk through Diagon Alley with her nephew, her second son, and gets to witness the world that Lily lived in.
The wonder, the awe, her boys talking animatedly in front of her, looking just as amazed as she.
She has no clue what awaits her second son, has no clue that in a few years he will be forced to give up his life.
Can you picture her? Washing her dishes, Dudley doing his homework at the kitchen table, looking out the window and wondering if her kid is okay? If he’s hungry?
Harry Potter walks into the forest at 17 years old, facing the man who killed his biological mother, who threatened to go after the mother he has at home waiting for him.

i just realized that i have a pattern of getting invested in underappreciated historical figures who have a lot of material to write about and are involved in murder mysteries...

Street Fighter really peaked when they gave Guile an extra taunt where he puts on his shades and then you can fight with the shades on for the rest of the fight...

Henry [VII] spared Richard's nephew and designated heir, John de la Pole, Earl of Lincoln, and made the Yorkist heiress [from 1499] Margaret Plantagenet Countess of Salisbury suo jure.
