Throughout the first ten years of his life in the Harry Potter series, Harry lived with the Dursleys, completely unaware of his magical background. He was neglected and mistreated, forced to sleep in a cupboard, wear clothes that didn’t fit, and live with broken glasses. This clearly showed he wasn’t wanted or cared for by his relatives. Even after he started attending Hogwarts, the Dursleys’ gifts were often insulting, like dog biscuits from Aunt Marge. While seemingly unimportant, these gifts have led some fans to wonder if they hinted at future events in the story, specifically the Deathly Hallows.
