Honestly, I think Petunia was/is so removed from her late sister,
since they've been estranged for so long. So I didn't think she'd be
insulted at all. I mean, she's looking after her sister's only son,
but look how she allows her husband and son to treat him. And
Petunia's a Dursley now, and she seems to hold all of their ideals--
well, she appears to, at least.
