Petunia also says she was the only one to see her as a "freak".  But 
I do think this is where some of her jealousy comes from.  I think 
Petunia knows too much about the wizarding world for their parents 
not to be witch and or wizard.  Maybe only one of them was magical?  
I think Petunia may be a squib.  I also wonder about the obsession 
Vernon has about the wizard world.  Why is he so very against them.  
Could he be in league with the Dark Lord?  Maybe that is why when he 
tries to strangle Harry he feels like a shock of electricity runs 
thru him?
Just my thoughts.
