I think this makes sense. Petunia's actions in OOP confirm the fact 
that she knows quite a bit more about magic then previously thought. 
She must remember strange things happening to Lilly before she got 
her Hogwarts letter. If she knew that Dudley would learn the truth 
if he became upset or angry, then she would do everything in her 
power to make sure that he was never upset or angry. In fact, in PS 
isn't there a mention of 'Dudley hadn't really cried in years, he 
just screwed up his face?
