This has been discussed here before and someone came up with a
really good answer. Hedwig knows when it's Harry's birthday, when
it's Christmas, and other holidays, etc. He flies to Harry's friends
in the summer to get birthday presents for Harry, and he goes to the
Dursley's house at Christmas to pick up presents for Harry. (I
cannot remember which HP book it was, but one year Hedwig followed
Hermione to where she was vacationing and waited until she sent him
back with a present for Harry.)

Hedwig probably also bothers the Dursley's until they finally give
in and hand him whatever will make him go away. Hence the crapy
presents that Harry gets from them.

I love that idea, Vmonte (sorry, I didn't read the previous thread
you mention). Don't you love the irony - Harry's owl loves him more
than Dursleys do?

By the way, how do you know that Hedwig is a He? I always thought of
her as a female. :o)

vmonte again:
Ooops! You are right Alla, Hedwig is a girl! :)

I'm going to sleep. I've made more typos on my posts today than I can 
handle.
