Hmm... What an interesting idea to pop in my head. We all know that 
we have relatives that we've neither seen or heard from in our life 
unless some family crisis comes up. What if Molly (Or Authur)is 
actually related to Petunia, but they've never seen or heard of her. 
That could explain why Petunia's name or face didn't ring a bell in 
Molly's (or Authur's) mind at the time. I mean, maybe the immediate 
Weasley family thinks that the distant relative is a squib, not a 
full blown muggle. I'm sure that if Authur knew that he has a muggle 
in the family, he'd want to investigate her all the time :).

Anyways, just a silly thought.
