I truly don't believe anyone really knew the hell that Harry went 
through inside the Dursleys' walls. Ron and Hermione had more facts 
than the others because he shared more with them. But even they don't 
know it all. Harry just doesn't talk about it and it's not a 
topic up for discussion with him.

Tiffany:  

I agree that Harry doesn't talk about the Dursleys all that much, 
esp. in SS.  Even though Ron & Hermione know some stuff on the issue, 
you'll never really know the full story unless someone is willing & 
brave enough to discuss.  It's an issue that Harry would just as well 
keep out of his thoughts so he can focus on other aspects.

Jenni from Alabama responds:

I feel that Ginny may know more about Harry's abuse than anyone. I 
feel that she and Harry developed a very strong connection and when 
they started dating in HBP, that connection grew. They have both been 
possessed by Voldy and survived. It tells us at the end of HBP that 
Ginny is Harry's greatest source of comfort and peace. I think he 
talked with Ginny and shared more with her than with anyone else. 
Because she has faced some of the same things he has and is the only 
one that truly understands what he has faced with Voldy. 

Tiffany:

I felt that Ginny was a very caring & understanding soul on Harry's 
abuse.  He really warmed up to her when they were dating a lot in HBP 
& they had a very powerful bond, beyond just the typical lovers' 
bond.  She knows what Harry has been through because she's faced it 
also & she also knows that Harry has faced some scary stuff with LV.
