Harry's parents died. He was only a year old. Thus he went to stay with his Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon, and Cousin Dudley. They treated him like one of their own. Thus he grew up a happy, healthy, well-adjusted child who just happened to find out he had magic on his 11th birthday. Petunia and Vernon did not trust Hagrid with his well-being so Petunia took him to Diagon Alley herself (having accompanied Lily when she was accepted into Hogwarts). Petunia and Vernon escorted Harry to Platform 9 and 3/4. He went to Hogwarts, was sorted into Gryffindor, and after everything happened first year (ie., Snape, troll, broom, and Quirrell, not to mention the Dark Lord) he was pulled out of Hogwarts, enrolled in Salem Magickal Academy in America and lived Happily Ever After. The End.
