The Dursleys

Vernon Dursley -  Harry’s rich uncle, with whom Harry lives for ten miserable years. Dursley's are basicly the Muggle world at its most silly and mediocre. It is through Mr. Dursley’s view that we first see wizards, and his closed-mindedness toward the colorful cloaks and literate cats that he meets shows how different the human and wizard worlds are.

 

Petunia Dursley -  Mr. Dursley’s wife. Petunia is an overly doting mother to her spoiled son, Dudley, and a prison-keeper to Harry. She is haughty and excessively concerned with what the neighbors think of her family. She is somewhat humanized for us when we discover that she was always jealous of the magical gifts of her sister, Lily, Harry’s witch mother. Perhaps her malevolence toward Harry springs from an earlier resentment of her sister.

 

Dudley Dursley -  Harry’s cousin, a spoiled, fat bully. Annoying and loud, Dudley manipulates parental love to get what he wants—his outrageous desires for multiple television sets foreshadow the important scenes involving the Mirror of Erised and the wrongful desire for eternal life that motivates Voldemort. Dudley’s bullying of Harry also experiences Malfoy’s later bullying at Hogwarts, though he is less gifted than Malfoy.
