At first, Harry is a normal kid living in a neighborhood and he has a normal life except for the part where the people who take care of Harry are his cruel aunt and uncle, but then everything changes when Hagrid comes and tells Harry everything about his parents and who he really was, but as Harry went to Hogwarts he had a tough time to adapt to the Hogwarts teaching because he did not know a bit about it except the part it was a magic school. When it was Harry's first week of school his potion teacher did not like him because he gave Harry a stern look, also when he asked Harry a question Harry could not answer, the punishment he got was points lost to Griffendor, if Harry kept this up no one will like him because Gryffindor will be the worst house and with the least points. As days go by Harry gets tired of losing points for his house, so he starts checking out books and learning about everything like the Hogwarts sport(Quiddthch), as now he is doing a good thing now in his house whenever he gets asked questions Harry answers them with ease, but something else comes up whenever harry was checking out the books Harry and his best friend Ron find things about the sorcerers stone and starts to research but whenever he was so close to the answer something blocks him to get to it or to find out more. Harry has lots of roadblocks, but he has great motivation and persistence to push through and try to get whatever he is trying to do.
In my opinion, Harry did have a tough time at Hogwarts because before school started he did not know anything about Hogwarts or magic, until Hagrid came and revealed it all to him not all but most importantly that would be used by Harry. As Harry did not know anything, when he asked questions about an easy topic to the rest of the students the students laughed at him, also when he was asked questions and he did not answer, the punishment he got was points lost to his house. If Harry does not study more he will make Griffendor lose more points, then Griffendor will the longhouse at the end of the school year, plus the students will probably hate Harry for the rest of the year even though him being special with his mark. As days went by Harry got tired of losing points for his house so he started reading his textbooks, so when he was asked questions he answered them questions with ease. If he keeps on doing this he will be one of the best kids in Gryffindor, then he won't be hated by his teachers and he will not be humiliated in front of everybody
