Because Snape hates him! or at least it seems that way. There are many examples of Snape going out of his way to make things hard on Harry, he subtley makes fun of him and his friends (the worst one, in my opinion, was when Hermione's teeth gets cursed to grow 10 times their normal size and when Snape is notified says "I don't know, she looks the same to me.") , and he takes points from griffindore for seemingly no reason-- I would hate him too! Another reason is that his father had a long going rivalry with Snape when they were in school together, though rivalry may not be the right word. James was popular, Snape wasnt and was often picked on by James. Harry finds out about this in the 5th book but still cant seem to trust Snape.

James Potter humiliated Snape when they were at school and Harry look exactly like his father. Harry is also a constant reminder that the woman he loved, Lily (Evans) Potter, choose James over him.

Who is Harry Potter's enemy at Hogwarts?

His chief foe is Lord Voldemort, the most evil wizard to date. Voldemort was a half-blood orphan who began life as Tom Riddle. His mother died when he was born, and he never knew who his Muggle father was until much later. Other enemies of Harry's are the Muggle relatives who raised him. They are the Dursleys -- Vernon, Petunia (who is Harry's aunt) and their fat son Dudley. They hate and later fear Harry because he is an "unnatural freak", a wizard. At Hogwarts, Harry's main enemy is Draco Malfoy, son of Death Eater Lucius Malfoy.

He either hated or disliked his uncle, aunt, and cousin, because of the way they treated him.

Then there was also Dolores Umbridge - I am not sure from what house she was.
