<<She didn't seem to know who Sirius Black was. Didn't she attend the
wedding>>

Talking of Petunia (and there's a vague non-spoiler tie-in with Ch.3
here), I wonder if she really is a witch and decided to renounce her
magic so she could marry Vernon? She may have hidden the fact, and cut
off her sister's family.

Notice it's always Vernon who gets really angry when Harry does, or refers
to, anything magical. He obviously has a 'thing' about magic, which seems
much more reactionary than you'd expect from his previous contact with
Petunia's sister or his experiences with Harry. Could it be that he knows
or suspects that Petunia is really a witch and hates being reminded of it?

I also think Petunia has much to reveal.
