Well, that's true. It is a possibilty. But since those are the *first 
words* of the book, and that scene is the first thing we see, I'm 
betting it's Harry. It would be weird to start the book out with 
Dudley. 

Also, Pippin proposed the monumentally disturbing possibility:

Oh, dear. In which case, the sixth book had better take less time 
than did the fifth. Or someone will wind up massacreing JKR, out of 
pure suspense. ; )
