Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding this part of your post. No one from
the WW has met the Dursleys face to face? What about Hagrid in SS/PS
and Mr. Weasley, Ron, and the twins in PoA, not to mention the MoM
employees who did a memory charm on Aunt Marge? Or are you talking
about Dumbledore himself and the original arrangement involving Harry?
(There's also Mrs. Figg, who could have communicated information to
Petunia regarding Harry that Vernon doesn't know about.)
