I don't know if this has been discussed before but could Petunia be a squib?  
Was that why she was so angry when her sister received the letter and her 
parents were so happy?  Also why she was so adamant that Harry would know 
nothing of his heritage?

 What are the genetics involved in being one of the magical folk?  Do squibs 
carry the gene but it isn't expressed?  Is it a recessive gene so you must 
get one from both mother and father to be a witch?  Can the gene be passed 
and the individual not know that they are carrying it until two unaware 
parents suddenly have a witch or wizard child? 


Just some thoughts.  Rip them apart, I know you will.
