The conversation between human and AI assistant.
Why were the Dursleys allowed to treat Harry the way they did? Why did the neighbours or teachers not report them to the appropriate authorities?
But even if they did lie, wouldn't there be signs of neglect or abuse that the authorities could pick up on?
That's true, it's possible that the authorities may have missed signs of abuse or neglect. It's also possible that Harry was incredibly resilient and was able to hide any signs of mistreatment from others.
