Harry lives with them at [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Privet Drive|Number Four, Privet Drive]].

Much of Dudley's role seems to be one of contrast. The Dursley family treatment of Harry is apparently designed to show how children can be abused through neglect by those who are nominally taking care of them, while Dudley seems to be an example of how children can be abused through overindulgence. Professor Dumbledore comments on this in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Half-Blood Prince/Chapter 3|''Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'']], in fact, pointing out that while the Dursleys had done a bad job raising Harry, they had done a worse job on Dudley. While the author clearly does not condone either extreme, it seems that she has deliberately portrayed the results of overindulgence as being significantly worse than the results of privation.
