   Well, this is a very interesting argument and I thought I might 
just toss out a possibility. What are the odds that Petunia is 
actually a Squib? In Sorcerer's Stone, Petunia is quite pleased to 
tell Harry about what his mother actually was. Although she only 
briefly mentions that her parents were pleased to have a witch in the 
family, there is nothing really said about Harry's family. Is it 
possible that Harry's Grand parents were magical? Lily was certainly 
a great witch. Is it possible that Petunia's hatred for her sister 
and anything magical could be very much like Filch's hatred for 
students? A squib would certainly become bitter being surrounded by 
those that can do something that they never could.
   Furthermore, there is no explanation as to why Harry is safe from 
Voldemort, as long as he is with the Dursley's. Can a Squib be a 
secret keeper? Is Petunia actually holding Harry's present 
whereabouts from Voldemort? Just a thought.
