How much do the Dursleys know?

Just adding a thought [as I always do ;-)]

It's interesting how we tend to forget that not only do the Dursleys 
*know* (including Dudley), we were there to read it with them. (as 
always, I *don't* have the books with me so I can't quote it) 

I'm talking about the scene in the hut-on-the-rock. Hagrid tells 
Harry all about Voldemort and his parents' death, and the Dursleys 
heard it as well. The thing is, I think they either don't believe it 
or don't think it will affect *them*. I say so because, when Hagrid 
tells about the murder of the Potters, Vernon replies "bunch of old 
tush" (or something like that), which implies that he knew about it 
and didn't care much. He wouldn't have cared at all if it were'nt for 
the fact that the result was him ending up raising the little 
brat... ;-)
