Question

why were the dursleys making harry's life so miserable

Answer 1

Answer:

Petunia Dursley, the sister of Harry’s mother, and her husband Vernon take their nephew in when his parents are murdered, raising him alongside their own son Dudley, but forcing him to live in the cupboard under the stairs. The cruel treatment dates back to Petunia’s jealousy of her sister Lily’s magical abilities when they were growing up, and Vernon’s dislike of anything out of the ordinary.
