 Frost:  
  Well, I'm not going to argue your sanity, 'cause you might as well 
be crazy. BUt as for your theory...
  It could be, but then, that would imply that a spoken spell by 
Uncle Vernon worked to protect his son. IE, Uncle Vernon would be 
the Hidden Wizard.  
  WHich would be very very funny.  
  Really, he is the sort of person that, if he were to cause 
something wierd to happen in a moment of stress when his rather 
latent magic appeared, he would be very good at convinceing himself 
of a very reasonable non-magic explination.  That also might be a 
reason that he thought he could squash the magic out of Harry.  

Interesting idea.
