- The Dursleys shuddered to think what the neighbours would say if the Potters arrived [if they were to suddenly visit] in the street. The Dursleys knew that the Potters had a small son, too, but they had never even seen him. This boy was another good reason for keeping the Potters away; they didn't want Dudley mixing with a child like that.
