** Then in Chapters 2-3, you find out how right those misgivings were. The Dursleys, as much as possible, [[ParentalNeglect act as if Harry wasn't there]], keep him in the cupboard under the stairs so he takes up as little space as possible, give him only hand-me-downs from Dudley so they can spend as little on him as possible, and ignore/enable Dudley and his friends bullying him not only at home but even at school (with not a single classmate or schoolmate even trying to do anything because of how clearly Harry is their target) to the point where he had to run away from them often and once while running he ended up on the school roof. Not to mention, whenever something weird happens, they are quick to punish Harry. Even when they let Harry move out of the cupboard, it's only because Hogwarts is sending letters addressed to Harry with the cupboard included, and only to the room they converted into a storeroom for Dudley's broken and unwanted things.

* The film's version of the Hut on the Rock. While his relatives sleep, Harry celebrates the coming of his 11th birthday... by drawing an image of his birthday cake out of soot on the floor, making a wish, and blowing out the candles as midnight passes. And considering how his life has been so far, you have to wonder whether this was the first time he's done this. (It does make the cake that Hagrid gives him moments later that much [[TearDryer sweeter]], though.)
