Hello to all this is my first post and its going to be quite a
simple answer to this question.  We can assume that the amount of money in Harry's account is quite a bit as we can compare it to another family's account; the Weasleys.  They are, if I remember correctly, very surprised to see the amount of money in Harry's vault whan they go with him. Harry tries to shield the amount with his body. J.K even says that their was "a small fortune hidden underneath London..." We, from this and other quote from various characters in the book that make reference to it (aka Hagrid book 1) can say that while Harry might not be 'rich' is
certaintly well off.
