> My pet theory is Petunia.  I have a theory that Petunia got a 
letter from Hogwarts, too, and hid it.  She's a little TOO obsessed 
with being normal, in my opinion.  But, like Umbridge said in OoP, 
if magical potential isn't realized/practiced, then it withers (I 
think that's the gist of part of her opening speeck).  But then that

Hm, I need to think this one through a bit.

Me again:

   I definitely agree with Petunia.  That was, to be honest, my first 
thought all along, until reading that magical potential dies if it is 
not utilized.  However, as has been pointed out already, Petunia 
always struck me as an odd character.  For someone who's life has 
been touched by magic in so many ways, she sure seems like she is 
trying to hide something.  Maybe she did get her Hogwarts letter and 
denied her true calling for some reason.  I'm not really sure.  It 
just seems to me that, with the comments made earlier, Petunia 
*can't* be the one referred to by JKR.  The statements just don't add 
up.  That's why I was wondering if there were any other pet theories 
floating around besides the apparently popular Petunia one.
