Professor Albus-Percival•Wulfric•Brian-Dumbledore's Letter to Mrises Petunia Dursley

This letter was written by Albus Dumbledore on 1 November 1981 to Petunia Dursley. The letter detailed the wards that would be created if she were to take in her nephew, Harry Potter.
==Overview==
The letter was placed by Dumbledore next to baby Harry Potter late on the evening of 1 November 1981. He tucked the letter into Harry's blankets. The contents of the letter were unknown, although it presumably informed Petunia Dursley to take care of Harry. However, she and her husband, Vernon Dursley treated Harry very poorly throughout his childhood, and did not tell Harry the truth about his origins.
==Contents==
The contents of the letter could be presumed to include:
*The news and circumstances of the death of Petunia's sister Lily Potter and her husband James.
*The magical protection which would be placed upon 4 Privet Drive when Harry was to be adopted.
*The potential dangers which could befall Harry and Petunia's family if Harry is to leave the house before his seventeenth birthday.
Regardless of the content, Vernon and Petunia did not reveal the information to their nephew Harry. Instead, they spent the next decade of their lives attempting to keep Harry ignorant about not just the circumstances of his parents' deaths, but also the wizarding world altogether. 
==Behind the scenes==
*In , the letter was addressed to both Vernon and Petunia Dursley. However, the novel does not state what was written on the envelope. J. K. Rowling later clarified on her website that the letter was sent "to Petunia ALONE".What did Dumbledore's Howler to Aunt Petunia mean? ('Remember my last'?) at (archived)
