4 Privet Drive is the street address of the home owned by Vernon and Petunia Dursley. They lived in this home with their son, Dudley, and their nephew, Harry Potter.
The home consisted of two floors; the first floor included a hallway, living room, dining room, kitchen, powder room (1/2 bath), and a small cupboard under the stairs; the second floor consisted of four bedrooms and one bathroom.One bedroom was for Dudley's parents, one for visitors(which was mainly Aunt Marge), and two for Dudley and all his toys.
The Dursleys' nephew, Harry Potter, the son of the late Lily and James Potter, was delivered to the Dursleys on the front step the night after is parent's death. Professors Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall met at the front of the home, where they waited for the arrival of Rubeus Hagrid, who was charged with the retrieval of the baby Harry.
For most of his young life, the Dursleys, who felt Harry was a burden on their family, forced Harry to live in the cupboard under the stairs on the first floor of the home.This was changed before the beginning of Harry's first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, when the Dursleys discovered that the school was aware of Harry's horrible living conditions. Harry was then moved to Dudley's "second bedroom", where he remained until reaching 17 years old.
