I think there will eventually be an explanation given for why Harry must
put up with the Dursley's, but I think that Ms. Rowling's true reasoning
is purely to give the readers that first bit of comic relief. Especially
if the books are purportedly going to become darker and darker. It also
gives the reader that first bit of sympathy for Harry which becomes
empathy further on into the book. This writer really knows what she
is doing!

Just my little opinion.
