Valky:
Yes, My oops Pam ... My post *should* read:

-------------------------------------------------------------

I also agree that: 
1 Petunia allows Harry to stay because '*She* is not going to be 
responsible for his death'; 
*and* 
2 that she is a moral woman; 

But, I do not agree that she decided 'She is not going to be 
responsible for Harry's death' *because* she is a moral woman.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, although Dudleys safety seems the most likely and logical 
explanation for Petunia's emotional reaction to the Howler I am 
reserving my bid for the moment because Petunia doesn't exactly 
appear to panic about venturing out into the world /without/ Harry 
after she reads the Howler, and she continues to allow Dudley to 
live fairly normally, apparently not grounding him from his daily 
bullying... (Note: /No/ tantrums per Dudley reverberating through 
the house in chapter 3 of OotP is my proof of that.)
