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?
