Does it say anywhere how far back Veron Dursely knew that their were 
witches/wizards on his wife's side of the family? 

I don't think he would want to put himself in a position 
where he could be connected in any way with wizards. 

 Does he go around thinking 'My wife is related to freaks. What if the neighbours ever 
find out? What if she has wizard blood in her too?' 

Thoughts?

Hey Cassie
It doesn't really say anywhere in the books, though I don't think a man such as Dursely would have married Petunia if he had known--he is far too concerned with what the world thinks of him.  He may have known, it could have been love, or it could have been there were simply no other muggles as obnoxious as they. They are like the Malfoys of the muggle world on the hate scale.  Anyway, I think he would have thought exactly what you think he would have thought. (Did that make sense?) He would probably become very paranoid over the years, wandering the streets wondering if he was walking past a 'normal' person 'or a witch, or maybe a wizard, you can never tell these days...'  (You will have to forgive me, I am a writer and sometimes I get lost in a character!)
