Mr. Dursley was the director of a firm called Grunnings, which made . He was a , beefy man with hardly any neck, although he had a very large moustache.

The Dursleys had a small son called Dudley and in their opinion there was no finer boy anywhere.

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
Answer:

This opening scene sketches a very normal upper middle-class British family: the husband a hard-working director of imposing physical posture, the wife a housewife staying at home to take care of the children and snooping around to find out every gossip about their neighbours, one boy getting all the attention his mother could spend. And yet there is a premonition that this family will not stay as normal as any other family...

Soon after this introduction of the Dursley family, strange things started to happen. Mr. Dursley saw a cat looking on a map, people in funny cloaks stood in the neighbourhood, dozens of owls showed up in broad daylight ... all this because Harry, the son of the Potters, was to be left the very same night on the Dursley's doorstep to grow up with them. And when Harry turned eleven, he would start to train to be the greatest wizard who ever lived.

By the way: "The Boy Who Lived" is the title of this first chapter from "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", written by J.K. Rowling.
