Petunia quickly and nervously acts to head off one of Dudley’s tantrums by offering him more presents. I am strangely reminded of Hermione trying to deal with Harry in OotP.
LOL. Luckily Harry's still thin, so we know it's physically impossible for him to be a self-centered brat.
At school, Harry has no one. But just because everyone’s afraid of the fat kid and his friends. Harry’s unnaturally unpopular.
The fact that Harry has attended school for six years without making a single friend, and will spend six years at another school while making only two friends, in no way implies that his upbringing has left him with poor social skills. Only losers are damaged by abusive parenting. No, Harry's already subconsciously aware that he's better than the mundanes and keeps his interaction with them to a minimum. Also Lily's protective magic doubles as a Muggle-repellant.
