Yes Cindy, I too have been thinking about this line
since I read the book. My first thought was Petunia is
almost trying to cleanse herself of her "dirty" past
connections, making herself clean, almost like she is
trying to clean away the past? (I have also had
thoughts of her being a squib or perhaps a witch who
couldn't quite make the cut.
