lizzyben:

I'm really not sure what the disagreement is here. Durseleys didn't 
get money, Dursleys hate Harry, Dursleys hate magic. Check. They got 
slightly more civil to Harry once they realize that he has money. My 
point was just that that indicates that they didn't know he had 
money before. Which was the original discusssion. They'll hate Harry 
regarless, but if they were getting money or strings on that money, 
they might've treated Harry better out of their own self-interest.
