festered in silence, half-resentful, half-admiring of her sister's 
powers.  In fact, it was *Petunia*, Lily's slim, blonde Muggle 
sister, that James originally dated, after she turned up with her 
parents to watch a Hogwarts Quidditch match.  They exchanged 
passionate owls all through term, and met in Hogsmeade on weekends.  
It wasn't until James' eye roved onto one of his "own kind", her red-
haired little sister, that Petunia developed the blistering hatred 
and jealousy we see today.  In a final gesture of devastated 
defiance, she sent the happy couple a bouquet of petunias and then 
vowed to hate Wizardry and all the Potters' heirs and successors for 
the rest of her life...

(watching post like a movie, starts choking on the popcorn as she 
reads the quote above)HUH? Did I seriously miss something? I know I'm 
no expert on the Potterverse, but HUH? (that's all I can say, I'm so 
shocked.) What basis is there on this theory? Yeah, I'd have believed 
it until we got to the whole James & Petunia part. Now there is where 
you lost me. How on God's green Earth would James & Petunia date? If 
she's even a little bit jealous of her sister's powers, what would 
possess Petunia to go out with someone with *the same, exact powers*? 
It makes no sense whatsoever to me. But hey, it's your progative. Do 
whatcha wanna. I'm gonna try & breathe now.
