the dursleys were so annoyed with harry’s hair and kept trying to cut it and didn’t know how to handle it

the dursleys were terrified of what their neighbours would think if they saw harry, as they were clearly unable to disguise him as a normal relative

they were so embarrassed by his mere presence, as if just his appearance would immediately signal that something was wrong within their household

even though lily was a witch herself, james was somehow even worse in their eyes and they couldn’t comprehend how she could marry someone like him

tell me how it’s not damn obvious that harry is not white

honestly the answer to your question is your URL

My head canon is that Lily and Petunia are mixed race, but Petunia is white passing and doesn’t want anyone to know.
