How long did Harry have to stay with the Dursleys?
Harry Potter lived with the Dursleys in number 4 Privet Drive from the age of one to eleven, and every summer when he wasn't at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. When he reached the age of seventeen, he left the house for good.
Harry longed for the bedroom for a long time, however, at the time he received it, he only wished he could read his letter from Hogwarts. Vernon had hoped that moving Harry to this bedroom would prevent anymore Hogwarts letters from finding him.
It's unknown what happened to Grimmauld Place when the Second Wizarding War was over, but even though Harry was not living in it, it's possible that it was kept safe for the Order of the Phoenix.

The Dursley's house had four bedrooms: one for visitors (usually Uncle Vernon's sister, Marge), one where Dudley slept and one where Dudley kept all the toys and things which wouldn't fit into his first bedroom. Description of Privet Drive's four bedrooms.
The only Muggles given access are those accompanying their Muggle-born children. Wizards seeking access to Diagon Alley by foot will pass through The Leaky Cauldron, an inn invisible to Muggles who walk past from the Muggle side.

Petunia never showed any love and affection at all towards Harry because he reminded her of Lily and the wizarding world. She treated him as a waste of space, giving him the cupboard under the stairs at first and making him do all the chores. She, along with Vernon, ignored most of Harry's birthdays.
They were mean because they were a reminder to Vernon and Petunia of his powers and it reminded Aunt Petunia of the fact that a wizard killed her sister furthering her hatred for magic. Petunia hates Harry because she was jealous of her sister Lily's magical abilities and he reminded her of Lily.
