Well, the Dursley's are Harry's guardians...I would think they don't want
their highclass friends to think LESS of them for shunning him, maybe? I
mean, don't the Dursleys want to appear to be saintly for taking in this
poor orphaned nephew of theirs? I always wonder why Harry never stayed
at Hogwarts on summer vacation. In the second book, he ended up leaving
the Dursley's early when the Weasley's broke him out in the flying car
and then in the third book he ran away. So one way or another, he has
left the Dursley's abruptly. So, perhaps for the dramatics? To keep the
Dursleys a working part of the story? Had we never seen or heard from
them again, it would be difficult for the author to bring them back into
the story later if she needed too.

Anyway, just a few thoughts on your questions. I don't know if there
really are any answers. Just keeps the reader's wondering interest.
