I believe on JKR's website, possibly in the section where she 
debunks Mark Evans' name, she says that the good Colonel is, in 
fact, a muggle. Or maybe it is in the rumors section, my memory 
escapes me at the moment. Remember also that Aunt Marge was pretty 
sauced in that scene. She probably could have said anything she was 
so hammered. And after all she is a very large, beefy woman, so it's 
not too hard to believe that she would break a glass every now and 
again. 
Meri - who is pretty sure that Uncle Vernon's only connections with 
the WW are his wife and his nephew and that those are bad enough for 
him...
