As will become the series' usual framework, the first chapter recaps the previous book, andwhile the Dursleys reinforce the contrast between Harry's magical world and his family's mundane Muggle household. Although Harry now has his own bedroom, (Dudley's "spare" one) rather than sleeping in the cupboard under the stairs, his overall life has hardly improved. Here, we see how his enforced non-magical life causes him spiritual poverty and deprivation as he endures the long weeks before he can return to school. He is still physically mistreated, being nearly starved while Dudley has grown even fatter. The Dursleys, crueler than ever, do what they can to make his life miserable away from Hogwarts, a place he not only loves but represents a world where he is valued not only celebrated for his (unwanted) fame, but valued for his own self and individual talents. However, once he returns to Privet Drive, his magical abilities again make him strange and abnormal to his family, and anything tying him to that world is forbidden or securely locked away. Even [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Hedwig|Hedwig]] must remain in her cage. Harry copes with this abuse in various ways: by equally ignoring his family, occasionally standing up for himself, and even pretending to use magic to scare Dudley. However, Harry's unhappy homelife is made even more glum when it seems his new-found Hogwarts friends have already forgotten him.
 
Harry copes with this abuse in various ways: by equally ignoring his family, occasionally standing up for himself, and even pretending to use magic to frighten Dudley. This has resulted in a slight change in Harry's personality. A year ago, he would never have dared said anything that could even remotely upset his family, fearing their reprisals. Now he deliberately taunts them. Undermining all this is Harry's unhappy homelife being made even more glum when it seems his new-found Hogwarts friends have already forgotten him. Harry's demeanor and self-confidence will continue to develop throughout the series, and his position within the household gradually changes as Harry becomes less passive-agressive and defends himself more assertively.
We are also exposed to another aspect of the Dursleys—they are scheming social climbers. Their ambitious plans for entertaining the Masons, as Harry sees, are extremely sycophantic, and would irritate any person with even a near-average intelligence. One wonders how Vernon was ever able to earn a living, if this represents the quality of his sales pitch. This also indicates Vernon's shallow thought processes. Believing that he would like to be treated in such a condescending manner, he assumes Mr. Mason would prefer the same.▼

There also appears to be a slight change in Harry's relationship with the Dursleys. A year ago, Harry would never have dared said anything that could even remotely upset his family, fearing their reprisal. Now he deliberately taunts them by mentioning the word ''magic'', something he knows will provoke a negative response, while enjoying their reaction to it. Harry's demeanor and self-confidence continues to develop throughout the series, becoming less passive-agressive and more assertive.
 
It is unknown yet who or what the green eyes belong to, but it is likely something related to the wizarding realm that is creeping into his enforced Muggle confinement. Whether or not there is any imminent danger to Harry remains to be seen, but Harry is alert to that possibility.
