Uncle Vernon’s attempts to block, and then outrun, the letters is an analogyanalogous to those people's tendencywho tend to ignore facts. Avoiding unpleasant truths is a common human weakness. Refusing to admit something must therefore mean it is untrue and cancn provideprovides some comfortimmediate, in thethough short-term comfort. However, just like the letters bursting out offrom the fireplace, the truth has a tendency to return and strike you full force in the face. Unfortunately, this is a lesson that Vernon Dursley refuses to learn, as determined denial and brutish ignorance are key components to his character. This chapter has an enjoyably tense atmosphere, as it is almost as if Harry's true identity and destiny are rushing toward him, no matter how hard the Dursleys try to outrun it. With a "BOOM!" on the door, it catches up, and nothing in their lives will ever be the same again.
 
As mentioned in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Philosopher's Stone/Chapter 1|Chapter 1]], there are a few places in the stories where days and dates do not line up. We have already seen that this book covers events largely in 1991 and 1992. The Dursleys leave Privet Drive for the hotel on Sunday, leave the hotel and drive to the island on Monday (Dudley complains because he is missing The Great Umberto on TV), and so Harry's birthday falls on Tuesday. However, July 31, 1991 is a Wednesday. This trivial error does not truly affect the story in any way, and is included here more as a curiosity than as something for the scholar to concern himself with.
