Snip

Now me:
I'm still convinced it's James.  Petunia refers to the all in the 
wizarding world with enormous spite. Including her own flesh and 
blood in Lily and Harry.  Why? We don't yet know and there are many 
theories. But it seems to me that Petunia hates all things witchcraft 
and I am not at all surprised she wouldn't call James by his name, 
and instead refers to him a something disgusting and awful. Besides, 
he was more than likely awful to her, especially if Lily brought him 
home and Petunia treated him like dirt.
