The first chapter of the first Harry Potter book - The Sorcerer's Stone paints an idyllic picture of the Dursleys' life at Number Four, Privet Drive. Their patriarch, Vernon serves as the director of a drill-making firm called Grunnings. His wife, Petunia is a stay-at-home mother of a boy named Dudley. Chapter 1 "The Boy Who Lived" begins shortly before Albus Dumbledore is about to condemn the orphaned infant, Harry Potter to Aunt Petunia's. The Dursleys are ashamed of the boys' mother, Lily who is a muggle-born witch, and his father, James, who is a pure-blood wizard. In their opinion, the Potters are nothing but freaks.
