Snow:

What are the results of Harry's abusive upbringing?

Is Harry inadequate because of his upbringing?

Nothing I have seen that can be directly related to abusiveness 

Is Harry resentful of his upbringing?

I rather doubt that, given the save Dudley's life circumstance

Is Harry disrespectful?

Not when he is treated with respect (shows backbone)

Is Harry abusive to other people?

Not that I have seen

What is it again that Dumbledore subjected Harry to because Harry 
shows no scars of the weary battle of abusiveness. If the abusiveness 
that you are seeing is so apparent, why hasn't Harry shown any signs 
of weakness from it?
