Juli:
But do you think Petunia would have taken Harry in to
her home if she had "really" known what LV can do? The
letter from DD must have said something like, LV
killed Lily, take care into you home and only there he
will be safe from any dangers. She took Harry AFTER LV
was gone, so there really wasn't a lot of danger (at
least to some), So my guess is that she took Hatty
only because once she loved her sister. Thinking about
Janet's idea, Do we know if muggles can be imperio'd?
