Because he's a wizard like Petunia's sister, Harry's mum, Lily Potter. Petunia was jealous of Lily because Lily got all the attention from her parents when they figured out she was a witch. When James and Lily got married and had Harry, they knew he was going to be a wizard, a "freak", like his parents.

They knew that Harry had magical abilities, even though he didn't. They thought they could "squash" it out of him.

∙ 13y agoBecause Petunia Dursley resents her sister for being a witch. She was jealous, so she resents Harry as well.
Plus, Dumbledore didn't ask them to take Harry in, he simply ordered them to do so... of course that offended them.

∙ 9y agoVernon Dursley hates that Harry is a wizard. He considers this abnormal. Vernon is also irritated that he has to raise an extra child because, as far as he is concerned, Harry's good-for-nothing parents were irresponsible enough to get themselves killed and leave their hard working relatives to look after Harry.
