Harry Potter is an orphan who spent the majority of his childhood living in the company of the Dursley’s – his non-wizard aunt, uncle and cousin who treated Harry with emotional maltreatment and neglect. His extended family relegated Harry to the status of a second-rate member of the household, leaving him to sleep in the “cupboard under the stairs” and clothing him in Dudley’s over-sized leftovers. Harry suffered the loss of his parents at an early age and spent his childhood years trying to escape bullying at home, until he was offered a chance to be placed in the supportive environment of Hogwarts.
