I wish I could ascribe such warm feelings to Petunia, it would make her
more sympathetic, at least in my eyes.  

I think the Dursley's are a lot more familiar with the WW than they should
be.  Especially Vernon....he seems to know a lot about it for someone who
just has a sis-in-law who's never talked about.  Just what did Petunia
tell him, since she hates her sister and she and Vernon both pretend she
doesn't have a sister?  Something's missing.......I mean, if all they know
about the WW is that Lily was a witch, and what DD wrote in the letter he
left with Harry, how can they be expected to explain the WW to Harry, even
supposing they'd been predisposed to do so?  And yet....Hagrid is FURIOUS
when he finds out the Dursley's haven't explained anything or told Harry
anything about the WW.  

Like I said....something's missing.  And I hope we get some sort of
answers in HBP.
