In the book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, pages 1-43, we learn the Dursleys are related to a boy named Harry Potter. Harry's Aunt Petunia is his mother's sister and is not magical at all. Based on some events in the seventh book I believe Petunia is jealous of her. Harry's Parents died and he was forced to live with the Dursleys when he was very young. He was treated like trash. This was unfair and prejudice because they had no idea if Harry was a wizard or not, just because his parents were. As he got older Harry started doing weird things, like when he was at the zoo he talked to a snake and removed the glass so it could get out. That was my favorite part so far in the first book. It was so sweet of him, but he didn't even know how he had done it. After ten years of torture, around the time of Harry's eleventh birthday, he got a letter in the mail. I would have run away by then if I were him. Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia snatched it from him and decided to rip it up. He got several more of these letters, all of which were destroyed. The Dursleys finally got fed up with it all and chose to leave. When they got to the hotel, there were about a hundred letters waiting for them. Whoever was sending all of the letters must have been crazy smart because Uncle Vernon didn't know they would stay at that hotel until they got there. All of the Dursleys are really mean and don't like anything out of the ordinary. Harry started as a normal child and slowly became concealed because he wasn't allowed to ask questions and slept in the cupboard under the stairs. There will probably be a theme coming from Harry's patients with the Dursleys but nothing has happened to signify that yet other than all the letters. We don't kow what the leeters are saying though.
