This is a very popular theory but I think that Harry was a horcrux which caused the Dursleys to be extra cruel to him, and they even got better after he moved out.
Mod
Oh, that's an interesting theory!
I've never heard of that theory, but it's very interesting.
That makes sense because you can see things that are connected to Voldemort and that are affecting harry. And that would be probably one of the only few explanations as to why Harry didn't die as a baby but instead received a lightning bolt shaped scar. The second part "which caused the Dursleys to be extra cruel to him, and they even got better after he moved out"... I never thought of that side of things.

1. When Harry's name mysteriously emerges from the Goblet of Fire why won't anyone believe him when he says that he didn't submit it himself? Dumbledore seems angry with Harry for the first time. He has never questioned Harry before, so why now? Should he have known that there was an outside force involved?
2. In The Goblet of Fire, we learn that when Voldemort killed Harry's parents, Harry survived the attack due to his mother's loving sacrifice. Voldemort explains that "His mother died in the attempt to save him” As a result of surviving that attack Harry is labeled a great wizard, but has Harry truly earned that title?
