My personal belief is that what we learn about the Dursleys is 
what was in the letter that Dumbledore left with Harry.
Presumably the Dursleys haven't had much contact with the WW, 
yet Petuania knows how Lily died, and they know to leave Harry 
with Mrs Figg whenever they leave the house. My bet is that there 
is some very significant information in the letter, and that's got 
something to do with "stuff that's coming with them that they 
might not expect".

See ya
