IMO, the reason the Dursleys moved Harry from the cupboard to "Dudley's 
second bedroom' (And doesn't THAT description speak volumes?) was that the 
original letter to Harry had been addressed, in part, "the cupboard under the 
stairs".  This awoke, in Uncle Vernon, at least, the fear that the house had 
been watched all this time.  When more letters arrived addressed, in part, 
"the smallest bedroom", his fears were confirmed and off they went.  Uncle 
Vernon is not a man easily beaten, however.  I would have given up trying to 
flee after receiving the letter addressed to "Harry Potter, Room 17, Railview 
Hotel, Cokeworth"
