What did Dudley Dursley do to Harry Potter to make Harry hate him in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows?

Nothing. Harry does not hate Dudley. After Harry arrived at Number Four, in 1997, Dudley made at least one known attempt to reconcile with Harry. Dudley placed a cup of tea outside Harry's room. When Harry parted ways with the Dursleys, Dudley was the only member to bid Harry a heartfelt farewell. He shook Harry's hand, and thanked him for saving his life (though it was his soul the dementor would have taken). The members of the Order of the Phoenix escorting the Dursleys into hiding were not satisfied by this, and thought a more adequate apology was in order, but the Dursleys left with nothing more to say.

Explain Dursleys departing in Harry Potter the Deathly Hallows.?

The Dursleys leave for their own protection, because when Harry turns 17 the protective charm at their home will break, even if Harry is gone it is likely that the Death Eaters will capture and torture them for information on Harry, as they would neither be particularly aware of, or care about, Harry's lack of a communicative relationship with the Dursleys.
