The point of view contributes to how the events are described in the passage because in Harry Potter's point of view, his twelfth birthday was the worse.
Explanation:
For his twelfth birthday, Harry Potter had to stay upstairs in his room making absolutely no noise whatsoever and pretending he didn't exist. He couldn't even use Hedwig, his owl, to send messages to his friends Hermione and Ron because she was locked up by Uncle Vernon. In addition to this, he met Dobby, the house elf, who was on his bed. Dobby ruined Petunia's sumptuous pudding by making it crash to the ground. This and the owl causes the Masons, Uncle Vernon's guests, to leave the house. Point of view contributes to these events because in Harry's opinion, being stuck in his room with no form of communication is the worst way to spend his birthday. He thinks he should be spending it by going out with his friends or socializing.
