Chapter 1 Journal Question:
Who is Harry Potter and why is he so special? Why does Dumbledore, knowing that Harry won’t be welcomed or treated well, leave him with the Dursleys? Include information from Chapter 1 to support your answer.
Harry Potter was known to be special because he was left alive when Voltmort killed his parents. Voltmort couldn't kill Harry because there was something about him, something special that needed to be defeated later on in Harry's life. As a reminder of Voltmort's presence, he has lighning bolt-shaped scar on his forhead.
Dumbledore has left Harry with the Dursley's for Harry's sake of growing up with a normal family. He didn't want Harry to grow up not knowing any of his family or relatives, so he left him at his aunt and uncles house. Another possible reason would be questions Harry might want the answer to, example would be the scar on his forehead or what happend to his parents and maybe later on when he gets abit older, he will ask about the odd occurence going around him.
