       The same thought occurred to me after I posted. I remembered Ron 
seeing himself all alone as Head Boy and Quiddich Captain, holding the 
Quiddich Cup. So, perhaps Harry did see just what he wanted to see in a 
family. From the evidence, Petunia doesn't look like her sister, perhaps Lily 
was the one who didn't look like the rest of the Evans clan rather than 
Petunia.

       Or, the implication of Ron seeing himself , *ALONE*, Head Boy and 
Quiddich star, is more sinister...considering the number of theories 
involving Harry's death defeating Voldemort.
