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.

Hey, what if that boy was Snape? That would be kind of a twist, wouldn't it. :) Makes 
Snape calling Lily a mudblood pretty weird, though... Oh, well, this is just one of 
many strange things that have popped into my head when i'm jogging.
