Why didn’t anyone notice that Harry’s Hogwarts letter was first addressed to the cupboard under the stairs?
It looked like professor McGonagall signed and sealed the letters and therefore should have noticed exactly where it was being sent to, but still no one went to check on him. They just kept on sending thousands of letters which McGonagall also would have had to sign. I mean what the hell did they think they were still doing when the very first letter should have raised the alarm and sent them panicking over to Privet Drive to find out what the hell was going on?
Edit: I'm sorry my question wasn't clear. But I am wondering why it didn't raise a red flag, because Hogwarts had to have had hundreds of thousands of invitations processed and some of those sent to Muggle-borns, setting the standard of where a muggle child would be place in the house. If McGonagall thought this would be something only those backwards muggles would do then she would just have to think back on all the other Muggle-born's letters she signed to know that something was off. And she couldn't exactly use the excuse that they might be that poor because she had been to the Dursleys' house and knew they were well off.
