[HPforGrownups] OOP: Petunia and Azkaban

How does Petunia know what Azkaban is? She's obviously terrified, as 
Harry notes in chapter 2. And it's not just fear of prison in 
general... she's afraid of the name "Azkaban", as if she knows 
exactly  how terrifying it is. How can she know, if she tried to 
avoid all contact with her sister and anything magical?

My reply:  I think that there is more to that than we know.  She most likely has either seen a dementor or something like that.  She knows more than we think she does.  I just hope JKR explains it more throughly.
