Chapter 1
Page one is setting up the Dursleys. We learn where they live and little bit about the characteristics of Mr., Mrs., and their son Dudley. They don’t sound like very nice people at all. Mrs. Dursley and Harry’s mother are sisters, however, Mrs. Dursley pretends like the Potters don’t exist. The Dursleys are afraid of and disdain the Potters because they’re weird and peculiar. Their worst fear is the neighbors finding out their “secret”
