Diane asked:
**Petunia Dursley grew up with Lily, and presumably knew that she 
wasn't allowed to do magic outside of school.  (Although I'm sure 
Lily was very clever, I doubt she could keep the secret for seven 
years.)**

We actually don't know if the No Magic Outside School rule existed X number of years before, when Lily was at Hogwarts. If it didn't then Petunia wouldn't know that it was forebidden and thus she wouldn't know to mention it to Vernon or Dudley.
