The first chapter of PS happens the very day Voldemort disappears. 
That day Vernon is shocked by seing a lot of celebrating people in 
cloaks. He thinks they are weirdos (remember, unnormal people is the 
worst thing he knows), and doesn`t recognise them as wizards. This 
indicates that he has never had any dealings with the wizarding world.

Don`t forget KLarkaroff. We know he was a Death Eater. I don`t have 
the books right now, and my memory is sometimes buggy, but a think he 
betrayed some of the other DEs.
