At breakfast on Friday, Harry receives his first owl post message, from [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid]], inviting him to tea after class. Harry then attends his first [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Potions|Potions]] class with [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Severus Snape|Professor Snape]], a double-length class shared with Slytherin first-years. Class does not go well, with Snape singling Harry out, and ridiculing him for his limited magical knowledge. Snape, who apparently dislikes Harry's celebrity status, is continually harder on Harry than even the other Gryffindors in the class. In particular, when [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Neville Longbottom|Neville]] melts the cauldron he shares with [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Seamus Finnigan|Seamus]], Snape unjustly holds Harry partly responsible and penalizes Gryffindor House one point.

Many Hogwarts teachers are introduced, at least those who become major characters in this and later books. While most teachers are delighted to have Harry in their classes, Snape is less than impressed. Snape's singling out Harry to unfairly ridicule or reproach him becomes a regular occurrence throughout the books. We are here led to believe that it is Harry's fame that Snape dislikes. This is reinforced in the next book, where Snape's negative reaction to a celebrity teacher is also seen. Only later is it learned why Snape resents Harry so much, and their mutual animosity grows throughout the series.

In Harry's conversation with Hagrid, we can see Harry's natural urge to understand and investigate, a quality that will equip him to solve (with help) the many mysteries put before him throughout his seven-year story. This innate curiosity may be leading him to the forbidden third-floor corridor, determined to discover what lies hidden within, though his attempt to open that door in this chapter is apparently purely accidental.

Meanwhile, Harry's first days at Hogwarts are somewhat trying, and he dislikes that other students constantly stare at him. Overall, though, he is happy, and there is no other place he would rather be: hero-worship, uncomfortable as it may be, is a form of acceptance, and is far better than what he receives at home. In addition to adjusting to his new magical life and struggling a bit with his studies, he also learns more about wizard society as he becomes acquainted with his classmates. His initial impression was likely that all wizards were pretty much alike, though [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Draco Malfoy|Draco gaveMalfoy]], anin early[[Muggles' indicationGuide whileto inHarry Potter/Places/Diagon Alley|Diagon Alley]], gave an early indication that some class differences exist. Harry quickly learns more about wizard backgrounds, and that some are pure-bloods, like the Malfoys and the Weasleys, while others are half-bloods such as Harry, whose father was a pure-blood Wizard and his mother a Muggle-born witch. Like [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lily Potter|Lily Potter]], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Hermione Granger|Hermione]] is Muggle-born, having no magical family. Seamus Finnigan is also considered a half-blood, though unlike Harry, he haswith one magical parent (his mother), while his father is a Muggle. Neville Longbottom is pure-blood, though his family feared he had no magical ability whatsoever until itthe ability appeared later in his childhood. Even among pure-blood families there are class differences, as seen by how the Malfoys consider the Weasleys inferior because they are poor. At Hogwarts, however, all students are treated equally, regardless of what their individual backgrounds are, and they are supposed to be judged solely on talent and performance rather than their lineage and connections. There are, however, wizards, mostly Slytherins, that believe "pure" bloodlines are superior to mixed ones, and some, like the Malfoys, advocate that only the old, pure-blood wizard families should be allowed to attend Hogwarts and study magic. These prejudicial beliefs become an increasingly prominent theme throughout the series.

The exact date that Gringotts was broken into is also learned; the clipping on Hagrid's table states it occurred on 31 July, the same day Harry was in Diagon Alley. It is from this that Harry concludes that the thief was after Hagrid's, "grubby little parcel".

# What makes Harry so convinced that the vault that was burglarized at Gringott'sGringotts is the same one Hagrid removed the package from?

Harry and Ron constantly getting lost shows the castle's magical qualities and its overall enormity. Hogwarts harbors countless secrets, many that become important later in the series. Because the castle is so confusing, Harry, Ron, Neville, and Hermione will later end up in the third floor corridor; escaping Filch, they enter that corridor by accident, and will thereby learn something very important to the overall story.

Ironically, it was likely Neville's family that created his problems, though their intentions were good. It will be learned that Neville's parents, who were [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Auror|Aurors (Dark wizard catchers)]], were tortured into insanity by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lord Voldemort|Voldemort]]'s [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Death Eaters|Death Eaters]]. Neville's relatives apparentlymay have applied strong memory charms to alleviate Neville's painful recollections about this traumatic event. Unfortunately, these charms, applied too strong or abundantly, can damage a wizard's mental and magical abilities, perhaps permanently. Another character, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Bertha Jorkins|Bertha Jorkins]], later in the series, will suffer a similar affliction after [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Bartemius Crouch Sr.|Bartemius Crouch]] casts a powerful memory charm on her to prevent some very damaging information being released, though he likely was unconcerned whether or not it inflicted any lasting damage. The similarity between Neville's and Bertha's conditions leads us to believe that there may be some similarity in causes.
