Mr. Vernon Dursley, director of a firm called Grunnings, and Mrs Petunia Dursley live at Privet Drive no. 4, with their son Dudley. On his way to work, Mr. Dursley sees strange events. During lunch he hears strangers whispering, catching the name \"Potter\" and \"Harry\", and someone saying You-Know-Who has gone at last.
At home he suspects they are talking about his nephew \"Harry\". Late at night when the Dursleys are sleeping a man arrives in their street. It is Albus Dumbledore. With his Put-Outer he turns off the streetlights. He starts talking to a cat which is sitting on a garden wall. Suddenly the cat is gone and a witch named Professor McGonagall is standing in its place.
They start talking about what happened that day and saying that even the Muggles must have noticed something is going on. The Muggles had seen flocks of owls and shooting stars; likely brought about by Dedalus Diggle. Dumbledore states that the night before, Voldemort turned up in Godric\'s Hollow to find Lily and James Potter, which are rumoured to be dead. Dumbledore tells the professor that he has come to bring the Potter\'s son (Harry) to his aunt and uncle, the Dursleys. Hagrid turns up on a motorbike, borrowed from Sirius Black, bringing Harry. Harry has a lightning bolt scar on his forehead.
They leave him in front of the Dursleys door.
