Answer:
The Dursleys didn't have a direct conversation on this matter in the book. But when hagrid came to pick up Harry, and tells him about his parents then Harry mentions that the Dursleys have told him that his parents died in a car crash.
The reason I think they kept him in the dark is pretty obvious, that they hated the magic world, pretty much because of Petunia, as she was jeoulous that her sister (Harry's mother) was a witch and got admitted to Hogwarts and she didn't and they wanted to keep Harry away from that as they didn't want anymore of that "nonsense" and wanted to live a happy ordinary life.

This story vascillates between the everyday humdrum life of Water Mitty, the hen-pecked husband sterotype, and the extravagant adventures he lives in his daydreams. Mitty flits in and out of reality, his daydreams concocted by a stream of consciousness association triggered by the sputtering of his car's exhaust pipe, a pair of gloves, and finally a freshly lit cigarette. In such a way this docile "hubby" gets to be the captain of an icebreaker, a famous surgeon, a defendent in a murder trial and finally a fighter pilot taken captive distaining a firing squad. Mitty's imagination is his "second life," which nurtures his deflated ego and helps hims escape the insufferable mediocrity of his existence.
If you do a graph of the plot line of this story, it would look very much like a cardiograph printout, with the steady horizontal line of Mitty's real life intermittantly broken by the highs and lows of his "virtual" existence.

The ending would a little heartbreaking, I️ think :( If the Prince had decided that it wasn’t worth all the hassle to chase down the girl who walked on glass just to dance with him, Cinderella would have ended up remaining enslaved to her step-family, would more then likely never get the chance to find true love again, and the Prince would’ve ended up marrying some Princess or other royal that his father, the king, arranged. Which would mean the Prince never found his own true love, Cinderella.
Hope this helps >.<
