That's really a creative and complicated plot twist, but I am 
disinclined to believe it.

#1. Usually wizard children show some sort of their "wizardness" 
early on.  i.e.Harry talking to snakes and hair growing back, 
Neville bouncing out the window, etc.
Dudley has shown NO signs of it. 

#2.  The Dursleys have tried to squelch any possible "wizardness" 
from Harry, but were UNABLE to do so. Dudley was always treaded well 
for being the "normal" boy. And, again, he never showed any sign 
of "wizarness"

#3. What about the other schools?  Even if Dumbledore made an 
agreement not to give Dudley a letter, would the other schools 
possibly invite him to attend?

#4. If Dudley was a wizard, and found out, what would happen?  He 
has brainwashed to hate anything "abnormal."  He wouldn't be able to 
use his magic because he never attended wizarding school. So, what 
use would it be for him to be a wizard, other than irony?  If he was 
allowed to become a wizard, would he go to the dark side?

I don't know.  I guess you are right, though... anything IS possible 
in the WW.
