No, Dudley is considerably older than Harry: he's mobile at the very
least.

Quoting from HP:PS 
(UK Paperback p15 McGonagall speaking)
"And they've got this son--I saw him kicking his mother all the way up
the street, screaming for sweets."

(UK Paperback p18 narrative)
"... he slept on ... not knowing ... that he would spend the next few
weeks being prodded and pinched by his cousin Dudley ..."

I read this as indicating that Dudley is at least crawling and maybe a
toddler.

On the other hand he cannot be that much older than Harry since they
are both transferring from primary to secondary school at the same
time, so he must be within the same year group.
