I think it might have given the books a touch more realism (though I'm not saying whether that's a good or bad thing ;)) and shown that Harry can't just drop his life behind. I think it would have made for an interesting sort of irony with Hagrid popping up and being all, 'Harry yer a famous wizard, you can leave this bland muggle world behind. Oh don't forget to bring your bullying cousin. Can't escape that. Sorry.'
