small. It's not even big enough for Harry to stand upright in. I don't
know how it is in other countries, but in America, if people keep
their animals in conditions like that, they loose thier animals.

underaged, he would get in trouble for that. My question is why didn't
Dumbledore do it? 

Finwitch:

First off, since the first Hogwarts letter (which Harry didn't get to
read) arrived, Harry was moved into a larger bedroom. AND, he was SO
underage he wasn't even going to Hogwarts yet, he didn't even have a
wand... and we never saw any warning owls about any magic Harry did
until after he'd been a year at Hogwarts. (apparently Hermione didn't
get any when she was practicing her spells?)

But well... as much as Harry liked to have the room - he would prefer
*the letter*, even if it meant he still had to stay in the cupboard. I
don't think the size is the issue. No. It's the fact they *locked* it,
and Harry had to trick himself out for food in order to survive...
