I agree.  If anything it would seem more likely he threatened to give 
her powers with the way she and Vernon acts towards magic.  If she 
was hiding some magic abilities, or purposely not using them. Maybe 
she was trying to leave a normal non-magic life due to LV. Then maybe 
she was blackmailed or had them removed as part of the deal.  JKR did 
say she is a muggle and so I think the "deal" she made was not about 
magic and was about something else.  She seemed scared when she 
thought about the deal so there has to be some kind of threat 
involved.
