Ummm... I cited canon about where Petunia found out.  What other "awful boy"
could she have been referring to who might have told Lilly about the
Dementors?

Also, it doesn't matter if they were guarding Azkaban or not.  James would
have been even MORE likely to talk about them to Lilly if they were actually
involved in the war itself.

I don't think that JKR would be lying to her readers about how Petunia found
out about the Dementors.  For one thing, she doesn't really have any reason
to.
