Another possible flaw is that if Voldemort wanted answers from either 
Petunia or her parents, he would get more use out of an Imperio than out of 
an AK.  He'd then know for sure that they did not know where the Potters 
were. Not that he might not kill the parents on general principles (or to 
try to flush the Potters out of hiding) ...

Luckdragon's theory:

I've always figured that the reason Petunia keeps Harry is that the same magic that protects him while he makes his home with them also protects the Dursley's. Should Harry leave for good Voldemort will be able to find and cross the Dursley threshold. Whether it has anything to do with a vendetta against the Evans family I'm not sure, however; I think one way he might like to get back at Harry is to completely make him an orphan with no relatives to fall back on just as Voldemort had had no relatives. He probably has no idea what Harry has had to deal with in living with the Dursley's. I have a theory that the reason Voldemort attacked the Potter's was because they were in possession of the Sorcerers stone to prevent Voldemort from getting it, and possibly to protect Harry after the prophecy led them to go into hiding. When the curse backfired he was unable to get the stone and Dunbledore had it placed in the Gringott's vault until Harry's return at which time they thought it would
 be safer at Hogwarts. If the stone had been in Harry's crib it could have taken a part in preventing the AK curse from hurting him and may even have played a part in why Voldemort did not die when the curse backfired.
