What's in it for Petunia?

I'm still bugged by Petunia's insistence that Harry stays. It doesn't
make sense. Dumbledore as usual does NOT explain properly why she would
- he doesn't REALLY say what his 'last' was, but I seriously doubt an
explaination of a magic blood pact fits the picture. Vernon did what we
would expect, Petunia should have even more reason to be rid of Harry.

Obviously she knows more than she's saying. There is nothing explicit
about her being forced by the pact to act. She's in more danger with
Harry around than not - Dudley may well be a Squib, as some have
suggested, but that hardly gives her a motive to protect Harry.

What did Dumbledore REALLY threaten her with?
