My Theory: Petunia/"That Boy"

Hey all! Again, I will give my usual disclaimer - I haven't been able to keep up with all the posts so this may have all ready been said, although I couldn't find it in the archives :-) Now that that's out of the way, my husband and I were talking about OOP last night, and especially about Petunia and her relationship to the wizarding world when a thought struck me. When they are talking about the dementors, Petunia know what they are and where they are supposed to be. When she is asked about it, she says that she heard "that boy" talking about them. Now, I assumed that she was referring to James, but what if she wasn't? Here is my theory: when she was a teenager, Petunia dated, and fell in love with, a wizard. During the course of this relationship they talked about many things, and she learned a lot about the wizarding world. She was so in love with him that she planned a future with him after they finished schooling. However, he was a pure blood, and while dating a muggle was fine
 with him, he had no intentions of ever marrying her. When he finally told her this, she was devastated and looked at the entire wizarding world in a new light - a very bad light at that. This heart break forever turned her against the wizarding world and anything to do with it. Hence the reason she is so nasty about the WW, yet seems to know so much about it. Well, that's it...what does everyone think? If you think it's completely ridiculous, please don't laugh too hard or send too 
many howlers my way! :-)
