First of all, I agree with you about Aunt Petunia and Dudley. :-)

It's hard to say, what will happen with Vernon. He is definitely the 
Dursley I dislike the most (not counting his horrible sister). But I 
think he really loves Petunia and Dudley, and if Petunia and Dudley 
really accept Harry, I think Vernon will, too, although grudgingly. I 
don't really think, that he'll die. Currently, it seems that Petunia 
is in much graver danger, because she is the one, who gives Harry his 
protection. He might die trying to defend Petunia, however.

I can also imagine, that both, Vernon and Petunia will continue to 
dislike Harry and treat him badly. But I am convinced (and yes, I 
know that I have not much canon to back that up) that Dudley will 
start to accept Harry. They grew up like brothers and Harry saved his 
life (or soul) after all. And even in this case I don't see his 
parents doing anything, that could make Ickle Diddykins unhappy. So 
currently I think Vernon, too, will start to treat Harry better.
