I can't believe you mentioned this.  Night before last, I started re-
reading SS, and the same thing caught my attention on p. 2.  It says 
Petunia and Lily 'hadn't met in several years' but Petunia knew Lily 
had a son.  My first thought was "How did she know?"  Then my next 
thought was "Lily probably sent her a letter."  We know Petunia hates 
Lily, (actually, I think it's probably jealousy and hurt feelings), 
but we don't know how Lily feels about Petunia.  Weird how that 
caught both our attention.
