It's the Letters from No-one - Harry's Hogwarts letters in PS! 
(I'm so confident with this guess, it's not even a guess, it's a statement!

Thanks for the guess Choices, but Verity has found the answer!
(This is off-topic, but Choices, I LOVE the kitty in your avatar with the heart-shaped spot. It is adorable!!)
so -
Verity.
The answer is indeed . . .
Verity, I look forward to your riddle!
(This is off-topic, but Choices, I LOVE the kitty in your avatar with the heart-shaped spot. It is adorable!!)
so -
Verity.The answer is indeed . . .
- Spoiler:
The Letters from No One, or Harry's Hogwarts Letters.
I came to do my duty but I failed.
A letter arrives to inform Harry he has been accepted at Hogwarts, but Harry doesn't get to read it.
I multiplied myself to no avail.
More letters arrive but they are confiscated by Uncle Vernon before Harry can read them.
Relentlessly pursuing,
Mental faculties undoing
Uncle Vernon takes the family away from home to get away from the letters, but they keep following, driving Uncle Vernon crazy in the process - admittedly a very short drive.
You can't escape from me though storms may wail.
Uncle Vernon takes everyone to the Hut on the Rock in the Sea, quite sure that no letters can reach the hut. But in the middle of a howling storm, Hagrid arrives with Harry's letter, which Harry finally gets to read.
Verity, I look forward to your riddle!

Congratulations Verity - you make it look so easy! It makes a lot of sense when you know the answer.

The hint definitely helped. It made me think that the answer must be in the first book, and as soon as I thought of that, the answer came to me. The clues all fit so well, I knew it had to be the right answer - the mark of a good riddle, in my opinion.
I'll try and be back with a new one before too long...

OK, here's a new riddle. I'm sure it won't last long, so get in quick with your guesses! 
I'm no fool
In fact I'm rather bright
I have much in common with an owl
Except the power of flight
I might belong in Slytherin House
But in a kitchen I'll be found
I don't have a broomstick
But I sure do get around
I'm no fool

Thanks for the guess, Shepherdess (hey that rhymes too! ) but the answer is not Dobby. (Thank goodness - it's so embarrassing when my riddles are solved on the first guess.

Is it the fire where a wizard can pop in to deliver a message - like Sirius did in the Gryffindor common room?

Ooh Choices, your guess is very warm (well it would be, since it is a fire! ) but it's not yet the answer I'm looking for.

You're still very close Choices, but not quite there yet. You're definitely thinking along the right lines though.

Thanks for the guess Lady A. You and Choices are both skirting around the answer. The next guess should do it, I think.

Thanks for the guess, Shepherdess, but Kreacher is not the answer. This guess is moving away from the right direction.

Is it the bright flash of green light/flame (Floo powder) that transports a wizard from one fireplace to another?

Lady A, Choices has been so close that I really didn't feel that any more of a hint was necessary, and now, thanks to her brackets, she has the answer.
The answer to the riddle is indeed Floo Powder!
I'm no fool
But I am floo! - an anagram of fool
In fact I'm rather bright
The flames produced from using floo powder are very bright
I have much in common with an owl
Except the power of flight
Floo powder and the Floo Network can be used as a communication tool, like an owl can
I might belong in Slytherin House
The powder is silvery and the flames produced are green - Slytherin colours
But in a kitchen I'll be found
For instance, the Weasleys keep their Floo Powder in a flowerpot on the mantelpiece in the kitchen
I don't have a broomstick
But I sure do get around
Floo Powder is also used as a means of magical transportation
Guessed: Dobby, the fire where a wizard can pop in to deliver a message, the Weasley Clock, the fireplace in Molly's kitchen, the floo network, Kreacher.
Thanks to everyone who made a guess.
Congratulations Choices. Persistence pays off! The riddle baton passes to you.
