I think Dudley hears everyone screaming because Hagrid gave him a 
pig's tail - that has to be one of the worst memories Dudley has. Or 
my other thought would be the despair and hunger pangs he feels 
because he can't eat during his diet.

Dudemom_2000 again replies:

I would assume the muggle-born get additional instructions with 
their letters. Hagrid was sent after Harry so there was no need for 
him to receive anything further. Also it could be that the 
information was sent to Harry in the first letters but as we know he 
was never able to open them.
