Susanna,

I never thought about it until now.  However, it did appear to me that they were trying to keep Harry from Hogwarts..and acted like they had never heard of the place. Perhaps, Dumbledore made no mention of Hogwarts in the letter.

For legal purposes only, I'm assuming that the Dursley's did keep the letter.  My reasons for believing this are simple:  To my knowledge the closest thing that the Potters had to a will indicated that if anything were to happen to them Sirius would be granted custody.  Therefore, if they had a letter telling them to keep Harry they couldn't get in trouble at all.  However, I doubt they were told anything about Sirius  Black.  And part of me also wonders if they were lied to about other living relatives.  It seems very odd that he would have no living relatives..I mean when this is disscussed we seem to focus on LIly, however, James had a family too.  Where are the other Potters?
