We hear that Dudley is the only child of [[../Vernon Dursley/]] and [[../Petunia Dursley/]], and that in their opinion, there is no finer child anywhere. Offset against this, we have the observation of [[../Minerva McGonagall/]], who protests [[../Albus Dumbledore/]]'s decision to leave [[../Harry Potter|Harry]] with these, "the very worst sort of [[../../Magic/Muggle|Muggles]]." McGonagall has seen Petunia taking Dudley out for a walk and has seen him hitting her, demanding candy.
Ten years later, we see the Dursley house again. We are told that there are lots of pictures of Dudley, a monumentally fat child, where previously there had been lots of pictures of a monumentally fat toddler. It is Dudley's birthday, and Petunia tells Harry to be extra careful cooking breakfast, she doesn't want anything to spoil her Dudley's special day. When Dudley comes down to breakfast, he is outraged that there are only 37 gifts for him; last year he had gotten 38. To defuse the explosion, Petunia promises that they will buy him two more gifts. Dudley eventually works out that this is 39, and this satisfies him. Shortly, though, [[../Arabella Figg|Mrs. Figg]] phones to say that she can't take Harry for the day, as she has broken her leg. Vernon and Petunia decide that they have to take Harry with them on Dudley's outing to the zoo, as they can't trust him alone in the house, and Dudley starts to throw a tantrum at this. He is interrupted, though, by the arrival of Piers, his friend, who is also going to the zoo. Dudley doesn't want Piers to see him crying and wailing, so that effectively is an end to his resistance.
At the zoo, Harry manages to get a lemon ice when the vendor assumes that all three of the children will have something, and Vernon, to keep up appearances, must buy Harry something as well; and later, Harry gets nearly all of Dudley's dessert (a "Knickerbocker Glory") when Dudley complains that it is too small and Vernon gets him a second one.

During the summer, Dudley, now grown muscular, apparently has taken to working the street with his cronies and apparently torturing the neighborhood kids.

Harry's time at the Dursleys' is quite short this year, with Dumbledore arriving after only a fortnight to take him away. Before he leaves, though, Dumbledore has some very harsh words to say to the Dursleys about how they are raising Harry. He does say that they had done a better job with Harry than with Dudley. Dudley's contribution during this period seems to be limited to frightened squeaks and attempts to hide behind his parents.
=== [[../../Books/Deathly Hallows|Deathly Hallows]] ===
Harry steps into a cold cup of tea outside his bedroom door as he goes to the bathroom to clean an injury he has received, and he believes that this is Dudley playing a trick on him. Dudley, however, shows his real feelings towards Harry when he reveals that he doesn't think Harry is a waste of space, and that he would miss Harry in his absence.
