Family
Harry doesn't have a family—well, he does, but they're kind of awful—and he comes to Hogwart's basically alone in the world. A big part of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone entails him not only learning about the mother and father he lost, but finding his own family—a better family—at Hogwarts.
His friends Ron and Hermione quickly become like siblings, while Dumbledore and McGonagall act like surrogate parents. He even gets a snotty little cousin in Draco Malfoy, and Snape plays that uncle who gives everybody the creeps at Thanksgiving.
Hey, it beats living in that cubbyhole under the stairs, right?
Family is fate in the Potterverse: the death of Harry's parents determines his future.
Family is a matter a choice, determined by whom you trust rather than whom you're related to.
