Hmm, I like that scenario. Also, I think Petunia is a prime canidate 
because she might have got magical blood from the same place Lily got 
it. I wonder what percentage of muggleborn siblings are magical? I 
used to think an occurance like Colin and Dennis Creevey was a 
strange and amazing coincidence, but if magic is some sort of 
recessive gene, wouldn't a muggleborn have a good chance of having a 
magical sibling? 

I've never heard the theory that Petunia broke the wine glass in 
PoA...I went back and re-read that part, and it does seem very 
possible that it was her (it wasn't *directly* started that Harry 
caused it). I can't imagine that Petunia distanced herself so much 
from her family that someone saying her sister (and therefore she) 
had bad blood wouldn't upset her. Even if Marge didn't mean it that 
way.
