In the books (it got cut from the movies) we get to see Dudley apologise to Harry, showing that now that he’s grown he’s starting to form his own opinions and realising that Harry clearly shouldn’t be treated the way he is. I think this is such an important scene that people gloss over.

He’d also grown so spoilt as a child. CLEARLY Petunia and Vernons fault. He grew up expecting to be treated just as they treat him and this is basically encouraged by Petunia and Vernon. They let him do what he wanted, to the point of them overfeeding him to an extremely unhealthy extent.
