What are examples of understatements in Huckleberry Finn?

One example of understatement in "Huckleberry Finn" is when Huck describes his abusive father as "a considerable healthy-looking, fat sort of man." This understates the severity of his father's character. Another example is when Huck says he had "considerable trouble with them" to describe the dangerous situation he faced when encountering robbers in the Grangerford-Shepherdson feud.

Does huck's response to Jim's plight seem reasonable?

He felt ashamed of having lied to Jim, especially for a stupid joke. It is then that Huck realizes, all the way through, that Jim is a real person, just like himself. All his life he has been taught that blacks aren't people, are just a sort of "donkey with hands". Now he knows (without quite understanding what he has just been through) that what he has been told is not the truth. At this point he becomes more moral than the people who taught him all these lies (even though most, if not all of them don't realize they are lying, either). You could say that at this point Huck grows up, but later on in the book he is still too childish to make Tom quit playing around with Jim's escape. He respects Tom's judgment ahead of his own, but Tom has not grown up the way Huck has, and still doesn't think of Jim as a person. Ultimately, Huck is a weak character.
