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. 

   
  Dantzel replies:
   
  I never assumed Harry was extremely rich, but we are told by Hagrid as well in the first book that Harry would have plenty of money 'at least until you're out of school', I believe he said. Considering that most of us cannot live off of our savings for at least 7 years, it is fairly safe to assume that they're well off.
   
  Besides, even if they WEREN'T, Harry is now, considering that we KNOW the Blacks were wealthy and Harry just inherited all of their gold with Sirius's passing.
