Potioncat:
IIRC, it was determined that Dudley's birthday is several weeks 
before Harry's.  It seems May or June was the most likely date.  
This was based on the snake episode (I think) in SS/PS.  Harry 
misses school while he is confined and when he is allowed out, the 
Holidays have begun.  I am posting this from memory of  prior posts 
since, as poor as my memory is, it's better than my search skills.

It seems a bit confusing, because the little Dudley as described in 
the first chapter of SS is far more mobile than the little Harry.
