I wonder if Petunia may have some magical powers herself, but is 
embarrassed by them.  Perhaps she chose to live the life of a muggle 
because she was convinced that being a witch/wizard is to be a 
freak...

Any thoughts?

ME: Maybe but I don't think so.  Because when she talked about her "sister" getting one of those letters, it didn't sound like this was an expected occurance in the household.  Also she would have had to condemn her parents too which would have been harder to do psychologically.  Also the magical community lives in such a different society then the muggles do so that she would have grown up learning from babyhood that magick is in fact NORMAL and if anything the muggles are the ones lacking in something.  Remember most witches/wizards do not have much to do with muggles so where would she have learned at such a young age that being a witch was akin to being a freak?  It IS a possibility that being born to muggle parents she also posesses magickal ability like her sister and has suppressed it since growing up a muggle she may well think it's wrong and freakish.  It is even more likely that this all is just really deep MAJOR jealousy of her sister's ability! I bet ya deep in her heart she'd give anything to be a witch! Huggs Becky
