Creation & Design

Aunt Petunia was created as a foil to the magical world, representing the mundane and often cruel aspects of non-magical society.

Early Years

Petunia Dursley grew up in a non-magical family and married Vernon Dursley, with whom she had a son, Dudley. She raised Harry Potter, her nephew, under strict and often abusive conditions.

Character Development

Throughout the series, Aunt Petunia's character evolves from a purely antagonistic figure to one that reflects the complexities of family dynamics and societal expectations.

Cultural Reception

Aunt Petunia has been received as a symbol of the non-magical world's prejudice against magic, often criticized for her treatment of Harry.
