From Quiz The Women in Harry Potter's Life

Answer: Petunia Dursley

Petunia Dursley is the sister of Harry's mother, Lily Potter, and therefore was left in charge of Harry's upbringing and protection after Lily was killed. Both Petunia and her husband, Vernon, hate anything abnormal, which includes wizards and witches. Therefore they thought that they could make Harry "lose" the magic in him if they were to treat him badly doing his childhood. Sadly for them, in the summer of 1991, when Harry receives his first Hogwarts letter, they find out that this wasn't the case.
