The literary orphan who is raised by Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon is Harry Potter. Harry's parents were killed by the dark wizard Voldemort when he was just a baby, and he was subsequently sent to live with his mother's sister, Petunia, and her husband, Vernon. Although they treated him poorly and made him live in a cupboard under the stairs, Harry eventually discovered his true identity as a wizard and was welcomed into the magical world at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Despite the neglect he endured at the hands of his relatives, Harry remained a kind and courageous person who fought against evil and ultimately saved the wizarding world from Voldemort's tyranny.
