Aunt Petunia

I think someone posted here the other day that JK had said
at one time that there was a character who would embrace
their wizard ways after being away for a long time.  I think
this person is Aunt Petunia.

I just picked up OotP again and in Chapter 2 there are quite
a few references that lead me to believe this.

First, she knows what dementors are.  She said she learned
about them from "them" (assuming James and Lily).

Second, she asks "Back?" after HP says "He's back" (LV).
"[HP] fully appreciated that Aunt Petunia was his mother's
sister." (foreshadowing?) "All he knew was that he was not
the only person in the room who had an inkling of what LV
being back might mean."  HP then describes Aunt Petunia as
not looking at him with dislike or anger, but that her eyes
were wide and fearful.  Could be that she was afraid because
he did kill her sister, but I think she must know more.

Then I have a question.  Aunt P is sent a howler.  The voice
is described as "awful."  Who is it?  I don't recall
anyone's voice really being described, outside of
Dumbledore's soothing voice and LV's high pitched voice.
