 ME: Sorry, I just cannot buy this.  Though I am a FIRM FIRM FIRM believer that Petunia Dursley is eaither a almost/latent/failed witch, or slightly magical, or at least has a magical ancestor.  But Vernon?  No way!  If they were a wizarding couple, and prided themselves on magic so much that their sun Dudley's squibness could lead them to cruelty to their nephew, why would they choose to live VERY VERY much like Muggles?  


<Why Did Dubledore Insist Harry 
Go Back Home To The Dursley's?

What if they reveal info to him?.>

ME: This is actually quite interesting.  I am really intrigued!  I think we have all come to realize that the Dursleys must know more than they have told Harry (practically nothing), and that they must play a bigger and more varied part in future books.  There may have been more in that letter from DD than, "Harry's parents were killed by an evil wizard, etc etc".  And obviously, despite estrangement, they must have info on James and Lily, especially about the Evans family background.
