Thanks, Vivamus.  Petunia may be ugly naturally and changed just her hair 
color, eyes, and maybe the shape of her nose (like Tonks did with her hair 
and nose in OoP.) Depends on how much Petunia could change, if she is one, 
huh? I'm not married to the theory and only give it about a 40% probability 
it could be the case and like I said, only JKR knows. :)  I can't wait to 
find out what it is with Petunia...
