Ruth again:

We see several examples of muggle parents being proud of their 
magical children:

Justin Finch-Fletchley says "...I think she's [His mother] begun to 
see how useful it'll be to have a fully trained wizard in the 
family..."  CoS pg 94 US 

Hermione's parents are proud of her and I have the impression that 
the Creevey's are happy about their sons.

I think most parents would be glad to have someone with magical 
talent in the family.  I know I would :)

We don't know that Petunia hated Lily when she was a student at 
Hogwarts, although she may have been jealous of her.  My theory is 
that Petunia had stayed away from Lily since the murder of her 
parents.  James told her that when the murderers were caught they 
would be sentenced to the wizard prison.  That's why she knows about 
the dementors.
