Thanks for bringing this up, Joj, 

I've been wondering about the Creeveys, too. We know very little
about them except they are from a muggle family and worship Harry.
Your idea is a good one, and it makes sense. I've wondered about
Petunia's witch status, too. 

When Petunia talks about the dementors in OotP, she talks about them
in the present tense. "They guard the wizard prison, Azkaban." (pg.
31, US).   It made me wonder if she has current information about the
wizarding world. Her explanation that she overheard James telling Lily
about it seemed suspect. Does anyone know if the dementors guarded
Azkaban when LV was still powerful? It seems unlikely to me given how
quickly they let the DE's out once LV was out.
