Hi, Caesian!

I've snipped your excellent post leaving only this small paragraph, 
because I want to speculate on something in it based on today's JKR 
appearance.

It is pretty clear after today that there will be surprises in store 
associate with Petunia, right?


JKR commented that Petunia is not a squib, but that was a good guess. 
what if what Petunia wanted from Dumbledore as  a reward for taking 
Harry in is to bind her magic.

Maybe she indeed once manifested an uncontrolled magic and being 
scared of all things magical was very upset with it. Maybe she hurt 
somebody unwillingly. Could she ask Dumbledore to do it? Is such 
thing as "binding somebody's magic" even possible in "Potterverse"?

I definitely consider such request to be very sad, but maybe that is 
what Petunia wanted?

Do you think it is very "outlandish"?
