I am also put out with Petunia.  I just don't like her.  Yeah, sure, 
she has a little more dimension in OotP, but it was really too little 
too late for me.  I mean Hannibal Lecter has many dimensions, doesn't 
mean I would want him around my child.  I have simliar feelings about 
Petunia.  She is absolutely terrible to Harry, and I'm sorry- no 
matter what her feelings are about dirt, no matter what she's been 
through- you do not make your flesh and blood live in a closet.  And 
remember the only reason he got out of that closet is because the 
letters had his cupboard on them.  Oh and remember there is also the 
living off of cold soup thing, and then the being locked into his 
room and only let out to use the restroom 2 times per day.  I mean- 
that's not very often.

However, I did have a quick flash of wondering if there was a crush 
on James- or even one of his friends.  I actually thought of Remus 
first.  Petunia was already jealous of Lily for getting the 
attention, then Lily has this cute guy.  He has a friend.  The friend 
is starting to be nice to Petunia, and she finds she likes him back.  
But then she finds out he is a werewolf, and it totally freaks her 
out.  She hates all things magical from that day forward.  And the 
cleaning thing stems off that also.  

Then I decided that was too Days of Our Lives and decided JKR 
wouldn't do that.  And that the pure truth is that Petunia is just a 
person with no imagination, no talents, and a lot of jealousy.
