Petunia admits that she heard "that awful boy telling her about it". 
I can well believe that Petunia would be the type to sneak around 
Lily and James and overhear much of what they talked about in the 
holidays etc. Not only is Petunia jealous of her beautiful, talented, 
popular sister, she is suspicious of anything that goes on in the WW, 
so overhearing what goes on in a place like Azkaban would have 
frightened her half to death.
