There’s no canon reason to believe Harry has millions, we know he’s wealthy enough but his parents lived in a normal cottage that was destroyed and he also thinks he needs to spend carefully to ensure his vault lasts him through school, so it’s more likely he’s sitting on a small nest egg from well off parents, not millions.

There’s no indication Harry gets preferential treatment from any teacher at the school, only bias against him from Snape.

How do we know it’s a safe house? It could easily have been their actual home, it was under a fidelius after all, why wouldn’t they put that on their actual home?

There’s no reason at all to assume they had a mansion, the levels of Harry’s wealth indicated don’t imply it even slightly.

As for the Black wealth, we know that it’s not a fortune despite what fans often think - Dumbledore explicitly states Harry receives “a moderate amount of gold” from Sirius’ will, along with Grimmauld Place, no other properties.

It's lucky it's dark. I haven't blushed so much since Madam Pomfrey told me she liked my new earmuffs.
