Petunia. It could hold true that the Evanses did not have another 
child until after the first one, Myrtle, died. Yet, this one did not 
receive a letter from Hogwarts. The youngest one, however, did. Could 
they have been so proud to have a witch in the family because the 
first one died? (Although, I don't know if you would be so happy as 
to send you child to the same school where another one died years 
before.) >>>

   It's an interesting theory, but I do have one major problem with 
it that I can't get around, sorry. I don't think that JKR would write 
Myrtle taking a romantic fancy to Harry if she were his aunt, at 
least I hope she wouldn't. 
   Personal preferences aside though, I'm not sure where it says that 
Myrtle was a muggle-born. I thought she was at least a halfblood, 
because I thought she was in Slytherin.
