How can I use uncle in a sentence?

As far as Harry had seen, the snake had not done anything except snap playfully at their heels as it passed, but by the time they were all back in Uncle Vernon's car, Dudley was telling them how it had nearly bitten off his leg, while Piers was swearing it had tried to squeeze him to death.

Now he came to think about it every odd thing that had ever made his aunt and uncle furious with him had happened when he, Harry, had been upset or angry chased by Dudley's gang, he had somehow found himself out of their reach dreading going to school with that ridiculous haircut, he would managed to make it grow back.

The Dursleys' house had four bedrooms: one for Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia, one for visitors (usually Uncle Vernon's sister, Marge), one where Dudley slept, and one where Dudley kept all the toys and things that would not fit into his first bedroom.

Ah, shut up, Dursley, yeh great prune, said the giant; he reached over the back of the sofa, jerked the gun out of Uncle Vernon's hands, bent it into a knot as easily as if it had been made of rubber, and threw it into a corner of the room.

True, Dudley was now so scared of Harry he would not stay in the same room, while Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon did not shut Harry in his cupboard, force him to do anything, or shout at him — in fact, they did not speak to him at all.
