Rename

I didn't add the rename tag, but am happy for this page, Mrs Dursley and similar pages relating to real world characters and individuals to be given their full real-world names, both for disambiguation purposes and to future-proof such pages. I would however say that a { {conjecture} } tag should be added and no real world information should enter the main text of the artcile itself. In the case of this page, the opening should remain:

Mr Dursley and Mrs Dursley were characters in a "classic" bedtime story

and not

Vernon Dursley and Pertunia Dursley were characters in a "classic" bedtime story.
