  - In OotP, Dumbledore says to Harry that Petunia is his mother only
    living relative. Does he know this for sure, or he supposes?

    - In OotP, Dumbledore says to Harry that he has been watching him
    closely. Is he kinda spying on him?

  - Are we ever going to know about Dumbledore's life before Harry's
    events? If he's about 150 years, there's a lot of story...

  Considering that Dumbledore has seen a lot in life, way before even Harry's parents were born, I think he'll be pretty sure who Harry's living relatives are. He was also very close to the Potters. 
  We also know in OoTP that Petunia knows about dementors and Dumbledore (he sent the howler "remember my last")
  Last what? I can't help feeling there is some more serious connection of Dumbledore with Potters than just being Hogwarts headmaster. Dumbledore is not spying on Harry but is keeping a keen eye on him coz I feel he conceals secrets that we're not yet aware of. I guess JKR has reserved all these explanations for the next two books.
  - I don't think we'll know too much about Dumbledore's life since the book is based on Harry Potter. But I sure wish we do.
  Thanks
