Del replies :
Nope. Vernon only went nuts when the letters kept coming. But Harry's
circumstances improved greatly after the first letters : he was moved
to the spare bedroom for example. This to me indicates that the
smallest sign that they were being watched would have encouraged the
Dursleys to treat Harry a bit more decently. Too much interference
would indeed have probably resulted in Vernon losing his head, but
just a bit seems like it would have had a very nice effect.
