What is " there was no point" and "but all the same"?

[ssss1]

There was no point in worrying Mrs. Dursley; she always got so upset at any mention of her sister.
- Which does this sentence mean "it doesn't have to worry about Mrs. Dursley " or "he didn't want to worry her"?
He didn't blame her-if he'd had a sister like that... but all the same, those people in cloaks...
-"but all the same" is same as "although"? And does this sentence means " He will not hate the sister of Mrs. Dursley if she is not wizard"?

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling.

I'm only now learning that this title was changed from 'the Philosopher's Stone' to 'the Sorcerer's Stone' for US publication, which seems rather irksome to me since that's not the kind of the thing that ought to be changed.

(Sorry, just a gripe! )

 

[probus]

It's a gripe I fully share. The changing of book titles is a longstanding and irksome habit of American publishing houses. An egregious example is Saroo Brierly's wonderful book, originally entitled "A Long Way Home", which gave an idea of its subject matter. The American publisher called it "Lion", which, although justified in a way by the story, gave no such hint.

Note: please forgive me for not putting the titles in italics. For some reason I can't access the italic fonts on this device.

"There was no point in worrying Mrs. Dursley" means he didn't want to worry her as there was no good reason to.

" He will not hate the sister of Mrs. Dursley if she is not wizard"?

No- it means that she should not be troubled by the issue- she got upset at the mention of her sister, so don't mention her sister..

 

[Tarheel]

Two things. One, why would he hate Mrs. Dursley's sister because she is not a wizard? Two, I forgot what the second thing was. ☺

Did you notice how I phrased that sentence?
