[HPFGU-OTChatter] Dursleys - Wizards

[Marita Jan]

I'm really having a hard time with this concept, and I guess I missed it's
origination.  

I've just started reading (I think this makes the 4th go 'round) the books
again, and as I've been going through SS again, I've been looking for
specific clues that might point toward this happening in book 6 or 7.

I just don't see it.  With all the mention of things that just "happen"
around Harry before he got his letter, there's no mention of anything
remotely similar occurring to Dudders.  And if there's anyone who would
find a self-serving use for any sort of magical powers, it would be him.

So....fill me in.  Where does this theory come from and why?
