What Harry found most unusual about life at Ron's, however, wasn't the talking mirror or the banging Ghoul, it was the fact that everyone there seemed to like him.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
WHY DOES THIS NOT GET MORE ATTENTION??? THIS LITTERALLY RIPS MY HEART OUT EVERY TIME!
The Dursleys abused Harry so badly, that even after a year of Hogwarts, where he is considered a famous celebrity and the hero of the Gryffindor quidditch team, he still thinks he is an unlikable person. That people aren’t supposed to like him. That it is unusual if they do.
HE IS LITTERALLY 12 AT THIS POINT! A LITTLE 12 YEAR OLD WITH NO REASON AT ALL TO DISLIKE! And yet the Dursleys made sure he thinks so badly of himself...
