... Have people who call Harry privileged read the books, or just summaries?

The kid grew up in a cupboard under the stairs. He's lost almost every single parent and parental figure in his life, except Molly Weasley. Even Arthur doesn't seem to have the same surrogate father feelings towards Harry that Molly does (though of course Arthur does love him, just not the same protective way). When Harry wins money from the tournament, he gives it all away to the twins.

What a privileged jock indeed.

Well, he's privileged by definition, being a straight white male with magic powers. But it seems like you're using the popular-wrong definition, meaning "This person has had a hella easy life so it's okay to hate them." I don't blame you for using that definition; it's dismayingly popular, especially in the endless one-upmanship games of fandom.

Does being wizard-rich count as a privilege?

I think it does--it makes a difference with his relationship to Ron, after all. It's not an aspect he needs to worry about. As an adult Harry will never need to worry about how to provide for himself. This is important because of Ron, and his experience with poverty.

It's not a wrong definition. Words can mean multiple things, and considering that that was the original, non-social science meaning of the word, getting annoyed that people still use it is idiotic.

The thing that people like you have never gotten is you can't just redefine a word in a specific area of academia and then just expect everyone else to go along with it.
