The Sergeant Majorette says:

I still think Petunia is a squib, and knew all about Azkaban. Maybe 
Lily is the first witch in a long line of squibs which is why the 
parents were so proud of her. Maybe the parents dragged Petunia along 
when they went to buy Lily's school supplies, all unthinking of the 
psychological trauma for poor Petunia. Maybe the sisters ran into 
James & crew in The Leaky Cauldron. Maybe James immediately 
recognizes the skanky annoying sister from Lily's conversation and 
starts ragging on her, being perfectly awful.

I also believe that Vernon (and most of Britain) is perfectly aware 
of the WW, and just doesn't approve of it. He knows about Petunia, 
but made her swear to cut off all ties with the WW. She probably had 
to do a lot of weeping and gnashing of teeth to get him to accept 
Harry, and she only did it because of whatever Dumbledore said to her.
