Voldemort kills Harry Potter's parents, and attempts to kill Harry as well. Harry manages to survive, but is left with a scar as a lightning on his forehead. Harry is now known as "the boy who lived" and is famous. After Voldemort's attempt to kill Harry, he nearly dies himself. He is totally out of his physical form, which results in him returning to the forest. Without parents, Harry is transported to the Dursley's on Sirius's motorbike, with Hagrid. The Dursley's are Harry's "family" from when he became an orphan. Dumbledore decided that it would be better for Harry to live with his aunt and uncle, so he could live with and be close to his only living family. But living with the Dursley's was not only easy, because Harry was treated horribly by them.
