It seems odd to me that she would remember not only their name and 
the fact that they guard the wizard prison, but also the name of the 
prison. I think there is more that we don`t know about. I think that 
Petunia has or had more of a connection to the wizard world then we 
may have thought. What does everyone else think?

I have two thoughts about that:  one is that she didn't answer Harry 
when he asked her if she'd 'been in contact with wizards' after she 
received the Howler from Dumbledore.  Two, I think that JKR was 
giving us a clue to hold onto and ponder when she described Harry's 
revelation that he was recognising for the very first time that 
Petunia was his mother's sister.
