Why didn't the Dursleys tell Harry who he really was?

They wanted Harry to grow up believing he was an ordinary boy so that he would never become a wizard. Uncle Vernon believed that if they ignored the magical world, it would disappear. Petunia also had personal reasons: she was jealous of her sister Lily, who was a witch, and wanted to distance herself from everything connected with magic.
