It could be anyone, James or Dudley, but since the book is about 
Harry I always assumed it was Harry.  Though GoF didn't start off 
talking about Harry, maybe she'll start talking about someone else. 
Maybe we'll finally get to learn more about James and Lily!  Audra 
thanks for giving me hope! The sooner she talks about James and Lily, 
the better.  Although, it does say outside number four and 
the "number four" has only been used for 4 Privet Drive.  So it 
should be about Harry.  Unless Hermione, lives in 4 something drive, 
avenue, street. ;)

Has anyone noticed that the quote suggest that Harry, or whomever, 
wasn't alone at first, but that he was left alone?  As if there was a 
gathering outside and everyone decided to go inside.

"The only person left outside was a teenage boy who was lying flat on
his back in a flowerbed outside number four."
