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.

Hi all Berkana here,
                          I have been wondering for a while now, who Petunia 
was referring to when she spoke of the 'Awful boy'. I always asumed that she 
was talking about James. I still believe she was referring to James as he 
would have been the one who told Lily about the Dementors, probably whilst 
they were still at school.James and Lily were dating in yr 7 I presume, so 
therefore in the summer Holidays James might have visited the Evans home and 
might of told Petunia about the Dementors to scare her.......Or another 
senario is Petunia is actually a squib, who is jealous of her sister and one 
day whilst Lily and James were at the house.Remember Mr and Mrs Evans were 
happy that Lily was a witch, so they no doubt had no problem with James. 
Dementors come looking for Lily to kill her , probably having been sent by 
LV to destroy her, so she doesn't even get pregnant and therefore that would 
save him many years of stress having to try and Kill Harry. Petunia see's 
these really nasty cloaked things floating towards the house and probably 
asks what they are and then Probably James informs her.....Or Dementors 
might have come to the Evans house looking for James and Lily and scare the 
living day lights out of Petunia, that is how she knew what they were in 
OotP (Chapter 1)


As for JKR lying to her readers. She is a woman full of surprises, I mean, 
who could have believed what happened at the end of the book? I didn't 
believe it, I was really shocked.Actually a lot of the book surprised me, it 
was nothing I expected.....We can only hope she tells in book 6.
