I don't know whether this possibility has been discussed but if
Petunia does turn out to be a witch, could Dudley be the HBP
developing his magic powers later in life than Harry had? This would
make for highly dramatic scenes with the possibility of Dudley
joining Harry at Hogwarts.
(Or...what if Petunia is a squib and Vernon is a wizard but in
denial? This might explain his extreme hositility to all things
magical.)
I know it has been questioned "Prince of what?". Perhaps Petunia
once called Dudley "My little Prince" or some such sugary term of
endearment.
I have always had the feeling that there is more to the Dursley's
than we have so far discovered - I have had this feeling since my
first reading of book 1. There is such a clear and marked division
between Harry's life with the Dursleys and his life with magical
friends and colleagues that the only logical way for the books'
plotline to go is to blur that distinction so that the two worlds
collide.
What do others feel?
