His dad developed syphilitic halucinations when HP was four years old. He died of untreated syphilis in an insitution when HP was eight.
His mother was a wreck in general and psychologically abusive in his childhood. He grew close to his grandfather, but he died and the family assets were dissolved, leaving HP and his abusive unstable mother living in a small studio apartment, basically, meaning he couldn't get away from it. She also had a breakdown and died in an institution after only two years after being commited.
