Pardon me while I speculate. (HA! Like you didn't know I was going to
do that.)

What if Petunia is older, and Petunia got her letter from Hogwarts and
decided she didn't want to go to any 'freak' school. So, a year or two
later, Lily gets her letter and decides to go, then it's all...
'Oooo.... look Lily's a witch. Ooooo....look at Lily doing magic.
Ooooo....Lily this and Lily that ...blah, blah, blah'. 

Petunia thinks she made the correct choice, the only reasonable,
proper, and socially acceptable choice, but now everybody is fawning
over Lily like she's something /special/. Well, Petunia missed her
chance, she chose not to go ,and now she's stuck with that decision
even though being a witch suddenly looks very appealing. 

The more filled with jealousy Petunia becomes and the more attention
Lily gets, the more entrench in her position Petunia must become. 

So, back to the 'Petunia blows a gasket' scenerio, suddenly after
years of denial and suppression, magic explodes from her.

Hey, it could happen. There must be a certain number of candidates who
chose not to go to Hogwarts.

Just a thought.
