In the past, I think its that one of the Dursleys (Petunia?) will turn
out magical.

but now, I think it is something that the Dursleys will do that will
affect Harry (emotionally) greatly.  Treating Harry the way they use
to after the events of GoF is cruel, even for the Dursleys.  Plus, I
cannot see JKR making the Dursleys *THAT NASTY*.

So I think the "stuff coming with them (Dursley) that people might not
expect" is that they are throwing Harry a birthday party.  Or perhaps,
they will attend Cedric's funeral with Harry, or maybe start being
nice to Harry.

Conquistas - Who also feels sorry for Dudley's porcine nature.
