sad1199 replies: Elves. Think back to the Mirror of Erised. Little 
old guy, knobby knees, green eyes... Lily's and Harry's green eyes... 
A magic stronger than wizard's stopped Voldemaort's curse... I 
believe that somewhere in Harry's ancestry is elvin blood. Another 
reason for Petunia to be SO anti-wizard. A deep secret she carries 
even hidden from Vernon. It's obvious she has knowledge of WW. Why 
would some complete Muggle even show regard to a letter dropped off 
by an unknown(?) wizard and do what it says? If she truly hated Lily 
and did not know (personally) of WW she would have sent Harry off to 
an orphanage. Dumbledore's got some sort of hold on her.
