Me:
Yes, but how do you explain Harry seeing others in the Mirror of 
Erised with green eyes?  Granted that the mirror shows the deepest, 
most desperate desire of your heart, but Harry saw other ancestors 
(i.e., an old man with his "knobby knees").  I believe there's more 
to Petunia than simply jealously, whether it's being a squib or 
not.  Petunia's the only one with heart in the Dursley family.  She 
hides it well, yes, but is only hiding it nonetheless, IMHO.
