Vernon Dursley: "Look at this."
Harry Potter: "She did put enough stamps on, then."
Vernon Dursley: "The postman noticed. Very interested to know where this letter came from, he was. That’s why he rang the doorbell. Seemed to think it was funny."
— Vernon Dursley regarding this postman's reaction to Molly Weasley's letter[src]

This individual was a Muggle postman, whose route in Little Whinging included Privet Drive. In the summer of 1994, the postman delivered a letter to the Dursley family, although he chose to ring the doorbell and deliver the letter personally instead of leaving it in the mailbox. The letter in question had been sent by Molly Weasley, who chose to use Muggle post instead of an owl, and was absolutely covered in postage stamps save for a small space where she had written their address. The postman had found this as rather amusing, although Vernon Dursley did not.[1]
