I have small and probably ridiculous idea on this one, but I'm still
holding out that Petunia may be a witch......I know it doesn't seem
to make sense at first, but is it actually specifically said
anywhere that she isn't? All I have come up with is that she is
insistent to ignore the WW and everything in it, but I'm guessing
that she may actually be a closet witch, trying to live a normal
life.
Maybe? Am I dreaming?
