for Godmother . . .


> Dorothy said: What if (gasp!) Petunia is Harry's godmother? I read a really good post earlier (couldn't find the number) that talked about Petunia's 
attitude toward the world of magic might be anger at her sister for "getting herself killed?" Perhaps instead of a strong hate for her sister, perhaps there was a strong love, confused by jealousy. This might explain her inability to adjust and forgive. Lily will 
never be there now to resolve those things that were wrong between them. A muggle godmother doesn't seem unlikely.Perhaps this could explain Petunia's sense of responsibility (if not love) for Harry.


> Owlery2003 commented:

I don't think it could possibly be Petunia. Too much angst toward Lilly ("a freak"). Usually people pick their best friends/man and/or bridesmaid. I think we'll see Harry looking through that photo album again in Bk 6 for clues, though Hagrid got pictures from wizarding folk, I imagine. I'm surprised this question never got asked of Sirius, or that he never volunteered it (works for your theory of Petunia, then, really . . .).
