In the first chapter of HP, you meet the Dursleys, a quite "Normal" family. Mr. Vernon Dursley is going to his job, as I believe, and he sees some strange things. he thinks it is the wizards that his wife's sister belongs to. He soon hears that his wife's sister and her husband are dead, and their son, Harry, is orphaned. He ends up taking the boy in, which is a nightmare for Harry, as they hate his guts.
