re the letter left with baby Harry, I suspect it told how his parents were 
killed, MAYBE that Harry was destined to be a great wizard, but certainly 
that he was being given to the Dursleys because they're his only living 
relatives.  It probably also included information on how to contact 
Dumbledore in case he was needed, which would have annoyed the Dursleys even 
more, IMHO, than being stuck with magical child.  They knew he had magic in 
him and kept trying to stifle it, so I don't think they honestly thought 
there would be any consequences to them from the magic community, that Harry 
had truly been dumped on them and wasn't going to be reclaimed.
