1. Vernon Dursley Vernon Dursley is Harry's uncle and the head of the Dursley family. He is the director of a firm called Grunnings, and is a rigid, stubborn man with a deep aversion to anything abnormal or supernatural. Vernon has no interest in the magical world and is extremely hostile towards it. He treats Harry very harshly, often neglecting and abusing him. After Harry is left at the Dursleys' doorstep, Vernon and his wife Petunia decide to hide Harry's magical background, hoping he would become a “normal” person. They force Harry to live in a cupboard under the stairs, wear Dudley's old clothes, and never celebrate his birthday. Vernon's hostility and coldness make Harry's life at the Dursleys extremely difficult. However, this harsh treatment also makes Harry more resilient and independent in facing challenges and injustice. |
