QWhy were the Dursleys so mean to Harry?
APetunia Dursley disliked her sister Lily (Harry's mom) because, as a witch, Lily earned the family's admiration and attention. It is revealed in one of the books that Petunia had requested to join Hogwarts, going as far as to write a letter personally to Albus Dumbledore, only to be refused. She grew jealous. Then Lily married James Potter, and their son Harry was born a wizard. When Lily and James were killed and Harry came to live with the Dursleys, Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon considered him to be a freak, and so they treated him accordingly.
