There has been some speculation here that children who actually are born
to Muggle parents get a different letter, one which gives instructions
on how to get to Diagon Alley and then to the correct Platform. As
Harry's parents are a witch and a wizard, the "default" would have been
for him to receive the ordinary letter sent to children whose parents
are Hogwarts alums. Perhaps also, Dumbledore's letter that he left with
the Dursleys when Harry was 15 months old may have included such
information, or at least a way to go about getting it. But of course,
we've never seen the letter - as Harry has never seen the letter, so we
just don't know.
