Dear Mrs Dursley,
Rest assured, your ward, Mr Harry Potter, seems to be in fair health, from what I've seen of him. He hasn't had to see me, so you don't have to worry about that, yet.
I'm just writing to ask after his sessions with your Muggle psychologist. I haven't heard anything from the Mind Healers I recommended to you, so I can only assume you kept with whomever Mr Potter has been previously seeing?
While I may disagree with you about Mr Potter's care, I must note that I'm glad to see him in such fair spirits. I promise you that I shall continue to keep an eye on him for you; if anyone needs it, he does.
Wishing you a happy, safe school year,

Dear Mrs Dursley,
This letter is to inform you of an incident that occured amongst students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this afternoon. The staff wishes to ensure that you have accurate information and dispel any rumours you may hear of the incident.
This afternoon, during the course of one of our Hogsmeade Weekends, a student was cursed and ade to come into contact with a further cursed student has since been sent to St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. It has been determined taht it is unlikely such an event shall occur again, and the school is taking further measures to secure the school against such Dark attacks.
Mr Harry Potter, your ward, was one of the students present, and with the others at the scene was questioned as to what occured. He was found to be in fine health, and released back to his House Common Room after questioning.
We ask your support, in th following ways:
- Speak with your ward about safety and situational awareness.
- Discuss with them the seriousness of Dark magic and its use, by themselves or others.
- Encourage them to report any suspicious activity to the staff.
If you have any further questions, feel free to owl the school, or Floo call the Deputy's office.
Sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore

Dear Mrs Dursley,
As you have yet to reply to my inquiries after your ward, Mr Harry Potter's care this summer, I can only assume that, like his immunization records, such care did not exist.
I am not a stupid woman, Mrs Dursley. Were it not for the interference of the Headmaster on your behalf, I would have reported you several times over to the Muggle's National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Do not think for a moment that Miss Granger's false conclusion fooled me. I have seen the signs, and for them I find you despicable.
Were Mr Potter not turning seventeen this summer and thus under no obligation to return to your residence this summer, I should not dare to write these words. As the matter stands, I only hope you realize the weight of what you have done.
You have harmed a child. I know not the extent of this harm, but I have seen its results in the very way Mr Potter moves. More than that, you have harmed a wizard child. You are not the first, nor, unfortunately, shall you be the last. It is said that mankind fears that which he does not understand, and I have found this statement terribly true in my life.
But understand this: Mr Potter is a wizard, and you have harmed him. Even if he should not find it worthwhile to take his pound of flesh, the many, many other wizards who care for him or hold him on a pedestal shall not hesitate to do so the very moment your actions come to light.
So I ask you, Mrs Dursley, and your family, to think on that. And I feel I must inform you that you will deserve every ounce of suffering you receive.
Regards,
Poppy Pomphrey

Dear Mrs Dursley,
This letter is to inform you that your ward, Mr Harry Potter, was nearly poisoned this afternoon. He is in perfect health, and due to his own quick thinking, another student's life has been saved from the same poison that would have killed him.
Having said that, Mr Potter is not staying at the hospital wing this evening, after a cursory check to ensure he did not accidentally ingest any poison.

Dear Mrs Dursley,
This letter is to inform you that Death Eaters yesterday evening infiltrated Hogwarts School of witchcraft ad wizardry, resulting in the injury of multiple Aurors and volunteer defenders of the school. The Death Eters did not infiltrate the student dorms, and the only students harmed were those who partook in the fighting.
One result of this fighting was the death of Hogwarts' own Headmaster, Professor Albus Dumbledore, at the hand of Professor Severus Snape, who turned traitor.
Exam schedules shall continue as usual, with the Ministry of Mmagic providing increased security this year. That being said, should you wish to remove your child from the school, an Auror squad shall be provided to escort you and your child from the premises.
Sincerely,
Minerva M McGonagall
