I think OOP shows us that Petunia knows a lot more than she pretends 
to.  The Dursleys' denial of magic is quite obsessive, really, and 
my guess is that, just as Petunia hides behind the net curtains and 
watches Privet Drive, she also took care to know what Lily was up 
to, while concealing her interest
