A breeze ruffled the neat hedges of Privet Drive, which lay silent and tidy under the inky sky, the very last place you would expect astonishing things to happen. Harry Potter rolled over inside his blankets without waking up. One small hand closed on the letter beside him and he slept on, not knowing he was special, not knowing he was famous, not knowing he would be woken in a few hours' time by Mrs. Dursley's scream as she opened the front

If you need an option that would represent a summary of this excerpt above, I would choose the following one:
Harry Potter lies outside his aunt and uncle's house, unaware that his life has changed forever (Rowling 21).

The other options are either too long or just direct quotes from the excerpt, which don't make a perfect summary.
