    I also get the feeling that it's meant to contrast Hogwarts with the Dursleys.

  I agree with that theory totally. I believe this is part of the appeal of JKR's younger fans. The books are an endless supply of, "So you think your life is bad? It could be worse. You could be living with the Dursleys." But tempered with a wonderful place like Hogwarts for young readers to escape to and dream about. Who, among the readers, young or old, has not identified their own teachers with at least one, if not several of the school teacher
  at Hogwarts? Bad as our own teachers were, they pale in comparison.
