I vote for number three! This was one of the top five mysteries I 
would want to solve if I could cheat a little on the HP series POV 
(getting into other character's heads for a peek)- something I 
explained in post 106606.
The answer to the third question could explain what was in the 
letter DD tucked into Harry's baby basket in the opening of PS/SS. 
Was a bargain struck between DD and Petunia? Did Petunia receive any 
protection for Dudley through this transaction (or even some help in 
supressing Dudely's latent magical power- if there is any to 
suspress?)
An answer to this question could also shine more light on the charm 
Lily cast to protect Harry. How did it work, and what role does 
Petunia play in its effectiveness?
I hope the third question gets picked!
