Petunia never showed any love and affection at all towards Harry because he reminded her of Lily and the wizarding world. Petunia described her sister Lily as a ‘freak’ but Petunia’s opinion shouldn’t matter since she was jealous of her. Another reason Harry was treated badly by the Dursleys is that they were jealous of him for they were ‘normal’ people whereas Harry being the son of Lily and James was special. As he had no friends or other family to turn to, Harry was completely alone. It was first published in Britain in 1997 and appeared in the United States the following year under the title Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. When he wasn’t locked in a cupboard, Uncle Vernon shouted at him, Aunt Petunia treated him as though he was worthless and his cousin beat him up for fun. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, also called Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, the first novel in the immensely popular Harry Potter series by British writer J.K. It was not until the letter arrived saying “the cupboard under the stairs” that they let him move into the extra bedroom. This goes to show the type of regard they have for him as they treated him even worse than a pet. For most of Harry’s childhood, he was forced to live in a small, cramped cupboard under the stairs. Right from the beginning, we saw Harry Potter bullied by his own family.
